alignment with chords shouldn't depend on note input order

You are right, normally vocal music doesn't have chords, and normally  
separate voices are combined together for vocal music.  But it does happen  
occasionally in choral music that the one of the voice parts splits into  
two lines (they call it divisi; see  
http://www.music.vt.edu/musicdictionary/textd/Divisi.html ).  In these  
cases, often the best solution is to use a chord construct, especially if  
you're using \partcombine which can only hold two voices and is by that  
point already maxed out.  The workaround is simple enough, but it would be  
nice if LilyPond just got it right the first time.

Feel free to merge issues or whatever, but *I* would like to see this  
fixed.  And although I don't really know, I imagine it wouldn't be that  
hard to tweak the code to achieve it.  Though the basic idea of David  
Nalesnik's approach (documented in Issue 2245, comment #1) seems to me not  
robust enough; it assumes the chords have at most 2 notes.
