Comment #20 on issue 3108 by address@hidden: Patch: Better staggering of accidental placements.
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3108A classic example of accidentals in octaves is in Beethoven Op13 (Sonate Pathéthique). In the first movement the climactic chord in the last Grave section (measure 297) has a D-flat octave in a chord containing suspended heads.
Lots of editions of the Beethoven let those flats misalign, which Ted Ross (p134) indicates as an allowable exception to the alignment rule, due to a suspended note-head affecting one of the octaves but not the other. The more studious editions, Godowsky and von Bülow, align them as LilyPond already does as shown in comment #12.
It certainly is easier to understand the accidentals if the octaves are aligned, especially for piano players.
