With all Carl's mods applied just the expected two inconsistencies
remain:

\relative c'' {
 a8 a a16 a a8 a a a a16 a | % wrong, should be ...
 a8 a a16[ a a8] a a a[ a16 a] |

 a32 a a16 a a a a32 a a16 a a a a32 a a16 a a a a32 a | % wrong, 
should be ...
 a32[ a a16 a a] a[ a32 a a16 a] a[ a a32 a a16] a a a a32 a
}

The second of these can be fixed (bypassed really) with

\overrideBeamSettings #'Score #'(4 . 4) #'end #'(((1 . 32) . (8 8 8 
8)))

which I think is a more acceptable beaming anyway,
but the first is a more fundamental problem which cannot be
fixed by any override which preserves beam breaks at
1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 AFAICS.
