Yes, the basic problem still remains.  The look-ahead is
only to the next note.  When this is a quaver there is no
rule which dictates a beam break of quavers at 1/4 and 3/4.
Fixing this goes rather deeper than the autobeaming rules.
There is an analogous effect with 16th and 32nd notes:
try     a32 a a16 a a a a32 a a16 a a a a32 a a16 a a a a32 a
