We shouldn't label this "needs evidence" because comments 4-7 show plenty  
of evidence to support the original bug report.  These examples were for  
piano but single-part music is written the same way (image from Brahms'  
piano trio Op.60).

So there is regression since 2.14.2 in matching common practice.  In cases  
of doubt we probably want LilyPond to err on the side of clarity, letting  
the user choose whether to override with manual beams.  Here, however,  
there has been no evidence that  {r8 a[ a a a a]}  is a case of doubt.
