Aha! I was doing something similar to this without adding a third voice; the 
addition of \override NoteColumn.ignore-collision = ##t (I didn't even know 
that property existed) makes it work now:

\version "2.19.3"
\new Staff <<
   \new Voice \relative c'' {
     \voiceOne c4~ \oneVoice <c d, c>
   }
   \new Voice \relative c' {
     \voiceTwo <c d>8 q~
     \oneVoice \once \omit Stem \once \hideNotes
     \once \override NoteColumn.ignore-collision = ##t
     q4
   }
>>

Thanks!
