Can't confirm.

Compiling:


\version "2.19.56"

\language "english"

\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"

m = \chordmode { b-flat4 bf/f g4:dim/e e-flat:m6 }
<<
\new ChordNames \m
\new Staff { \accidentalStyle forget \m }
>>

gives a clean run, no warnings/errors and the attached (cropped) image.

The problem must be somewhere else.
