Yes, the ledger lines are discontinuous, so they hide the accidental much more 
than staff lines would.
I added a bug report <http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3141>

Probably this can be fixed, when someone is able to spend the time.  An 
example of this situation in a printed score from some respected engraver
would be help to get the spacing right.

Until then, I can't think of a clear work-around, except telling LilyPond 
to treat the stem as if it were wider, nearly as wide as the ledgers
 \once\override Stem #'minimum-X-extent = #'(-1.2 . 0)
