Then I think we might need to find out if \override Beam #'damping = #+inf.0 without any extra tweaks *should* work in all cases or not. If it should then we have a bug and it should be reported as such.
yes, i think that the tweak definitely should work without further tweaks. it looks more like a bug than anything else to me. but since i'm not very knowledgeable about lilypond, i'm not confident to report it as a bug.
So (and I apologise if you had already done this) can you provide the .ly file you have where the \override Beam #'damping = #+inf.0 isn't enough?
by trial and error i found this as a minimal example. please note that it's not consistent: in the first two measures all the beams are horizontal, in the next two some are not.
