At least there is a "Known issues and warnings" referencing

  Beam collision avoidance does not work for automatic beams that end
  right before a change in staff. In this case use manual beams.

in NR 2.2.1 Common notation for keyboards > Changing staff manually .
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-keyboards.html#changing-staff-manually

But it does not mention stem (and apparently using manual beams does
not solve the collision here).

Cc: to Mike, IIRC he worked on that collision avoidance (in the case of
changing staff), he could maybe say more about it.

Cheers,
Xavier
