I find this remark a bit baffling. This is already an extract out of 120 lines 
of lilypond code. I did my best to "tin-ify" it, and I'm quite startled to hear 
that this already very short example is somehow not tiny enough.

But, since you asked, I'll remove the dynamics, the (only) articulation mark, 
and reduce it to two beats instead of four. Note that the issue does not 
reproduce if I remove cs' and b from the chords. Then the tie on the D's flips 
to the downward direction, which looks standard. So the three note chords are 
essential.

\version "2.14.1"

\include "english.ly"

\score {
  \new Staff {
    \key d \major
    \numericTimeSignature
    \time 2/4
    <cs' d'' b''>16 <cs' d'' b''>8.

    %% Here: the tie on the D's looks funny

    ~ 

    <cs' d'' b''>8 [ <b d'' a''> ]
  }
}
