It would be great if a knowledgeable person could check whether this

The very problem is that minimum-length gives the distance between
*note heads*, which is completely unusable IMHO. If I increase
minimum-length globally to fix the broken tie case, the horizontal
size of all other ties is *far* too large. Or do you mean something
different?
BTW, this is issue 14, opened in 2006(!) – it's the oldest LilyPond
bug report that is still valid, unfortunately.
