Try replacing

   <<\voiceOne {\stemDown g'4 e }
     \new Voice {\voiceTwo \teeny g, e} >>

with

   << { g'4 e }
     \new Voice {\voiceFour \teeny
     \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #0.7 g,
     \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #0.0 e
     } >>

This uses voiceFour and then brute force.


A more elegant, but maybe inconvenient method, is to merely use
a later version of Lilypond, probably 2.19.16 or later.
