Good idea, thanks, but this completely prevents alignment of dots.
No no, dots in a chord, within one voice, are still aligned.
OK.
Remember that dots are not supposed to be aligned between separate
voices[1].
Interesting.  However, if the dots' distances are not too far away
from the stem, the excellent Bärenreiter edition of the Bach Chaconne
*does* align them, even if they are in different voices.  Note that
this is a manually engraved edition from 1959 or so.

LilyPond is wrong to align dots from different voices, but doing so
helps her handle the cases where note-heads collide between
opposite-stemmed voices.

If you are still working on the Bach Partita, then to my eyes
Dot_columns for each voice gives a *much* better result.
Moving the engraver to the voice context gives rise to a new set of 
problems:

\version "2.15.23"

\score {
    \new Staff {
        \relative c'' {
<<
                { <a e'>4. }
                \\
                { <g cis,>4. }
>>
        }
    }
}

\score {
    \new Staff {
        \relative c'' {
<<
                { <a e'>4. }
                \\
                { <g cis,>4. }
>>
        }
    }
    \layout {
        \context {
            \Staff
                \remove "Dot_column_engraver"
        }
        \context {
            \Voice
                \consists "Dot_column_engraver"
        }
    }
}
