I think formulated myself poorly. What I meant, was that in your case, you can 
substitute
<c c,>1~<c c,>
for
<<{c1~c}\\ {c, c}>>

What I meant with the half notes, is that
<c c,>2~<c c,>
in fact _does_ look good (therefore only whole notes are problematic, and the 
above fix is lossless since it doesn't change any visible stem directions)

However, there are still problems with stuff like
<c c,>1 ~ <c c,> ~ <c c,>2
but again, I don't know what's considered beautiful in those cases.

BTW, you can probably use \hideNotes tricks to get polyphonic ties for chords 
(create invisible, tied, polyphonic voices, and non-tied chords)
