It works as expected, because the default direction in this case is 
\stemUp.
Try this snippet:

\version "2.19.82"

\relative {
 g' % default is \stemUp
 \stemUp <g bes d>8 r8
 \acciaccatura { \stemDown <ges' bes>8 } \stemUp <c e g!> r
 % \stemNeutral resets to default, that is \stemUp
 \stemNeutral c,16
 es ges bes
}
