I found some related ugliness. If the spacers are changed to rests, the
problem goes away.

<<
  { c'4 s2. c'4 s2. c'8 s2.. c'16 s2... }
  { R1*4 }
>>

Using transparent rests won't work for me because I need a beam extending
over the whole top staff, like so:

{ c'8[ s2.. c'8 s2.. c'8] s2.. }

A rest breaks the beam and a spacer breaks the spacing, so I'm stuck.
