Hi Marco,

The first three problems look like bugs to me.  I don't know if they
have been reported yet or not.  Valentin, do you know?

The last issue can be solved by modifying the 'avoid-slur property.  I
found this on the script-interface page (from the Script grob page).
Here is the modified code:

\version "2.11.52"
{\time 6/8 \relative c'' {
% tie and articulation collision
f4.-> ~ f4.
% strange position for the tie
e4.-> ~ e4.
d4.-> ~ d4.
<<{c'4. ~ c4.}\\
{
% strange position for the augmentation dot
d,4. ~ d4.}>>
g,,4.
c4.-> ~
c2.
g4.(
% tweak to move the accent close to note head
\override Script #'avoid-slur = #'inside
c4.-> ~
c2.)
}}

HTH,
