I see, the problem is not the \override, but the \once, or rather the moment at which the override is valid. An \override without \once works, and even the following works:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.36"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \remove "Note_heads_engraver"
    \consists "Completion_heads_engraver"
  }
}

\new Voice <<
  { s1 \once\override Tie.direction = 1 s }
  { a'\breve }
>>
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Thanks for this pointer :-)
Simon
