I should have been clearer. The score I’m trying to emulate has slurs—
|<bf,\=1( f af\=2(>4. <ef\=1) g\=2)>|
—and it’s the vertical movement of the slurs I’m trying to avoid.
The fact that ties will overlap the note dots was a curiosity I found in
trying to boil that down to a minimal working example.

Somewhat surprising result, tested on 2.24 & 2.25.11:
|```|
|\version "2.24"|
|\fixed c' {|
| <c e g(>2|
| <d f a)> ||
| <c e g(>2.|
| <d f a)>4 ||
| <c e g~>2 q ||
| <c e g~>2. q4 ||
|}|
|```|
In the second instance, the tie attaches to the bottom of the initial
chord, presumably to avoid colliding with the dot. (Interestingly,
as in examples 3 & 4, a tie will happily display overlapping the dot.)
Obvious searches (like [lilypond chord slur dotted note]
<https://www.google.com/search?q=lilypond+chord+slur+dotted+note>) do
not turn up mention of this, or of any tweak to avoid this. Any hints?
