Thank you, Valentin and David.

“1.5.1 Single voice — Simultaneous expressions” of NR says:

This can be useful if the simultaneous sections have identical rhythms, but 
attempts to attach notes with different durations to the same stem will cause 
errors.

I think that the code

\new Voice << g4 e' e''2^. >>

is attaching notes with different durations to the same stem but I do not see 
any error message.
