First of all, I recommend you to upgrade to the latest stable version, just run the setup.exe and it will automatically upgrade the packages where newer versions are available. Then, read in the manual on how to use convert-ly to update your input files to the syntax changes.
Unfortunately, the bug you describe has survived even to the latest development version, so I send a copy to the bug-lilypond mailing list as well.
One workaround, is to manually move the dotted note to the right using {\once \property Voice.NoteColumn \override #'force-hshift = #1.5 f4. f8} (I hope \once was introduced in version 1.8).

I've looked in the docs, the mail-list archive and "Tips & Tricks" on how to get around this problem, but to no avail. Maybe I've just missed it.
The example below produces a collision between the dot on the 'f' and the note head of the 'e.' In fact, the 'e' almost completely hides the dot.
\dotsUp does not seem to have any affect.
Any suggestions?
I am using 1.8.1 under cygwin.
Thanks in advance.
