I didn't read the subject line carefully enough to realize what you really tried to do. This question pops up every now and then on the mailing lists, and the standard answer is that there is no support for chords across staves but you could get the desired result by increasing the length of the stem in the lower stave so it reaches the stem in the upper stave. Others can provide more details, I've never done this myself.
