Sigh.  It works perfectly.  Per-chord ties don't magically turn into
in-chord ties, but if you really need in-chord ties, nobody keeps you
from writing them as such.  You can still rearrange the resulting music
with << >>.

For example, it is perfectly feasible to write

<< { a'4 ~ a' } { c'' c'' } >> or
<< { a'4 a' } { c'' ~ c'' } >> or
<< { a'4 a' } { c'' c'' } { <>~ \skip 2 } >>

and have all that arranged into the equivalent of { <a' c''>4 ~ <a' c''> }

or to write

<< { <a'~>4 a' } { <c''~> c'' } >> or

and have that rearranged into

{ <a'~ c''~>4 <a' c''> }

Take your choice.
