warning: ignoring too many clashing note columns

The *output* looks fine.

Ah, it seems I found my answer here:

Just be aware that if you turn on this override (\override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t), and are also merging differently headed notes in different voices, then the heads of merged half notes get filled in. Without the override they don't:

\version "2.15.14"

\relative c' {
    \mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn
    << { c16 a' b a } \\ { c,2 } >>
    \override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t
    << { c16 a' b a } \\ { c,2 } >>
}
