I'd call it a design choice.  The tremolos need longer stems, and
then LilyPond weighs the relative importance of keeping the other
stems in the beam at normal length, versus making the beam parallel
to line between first and last note heads.

\relative c' {e8:32 e:32 e e a a e e a a e:32 e:32 }

There's lots of parameters controlling beam-setting in general;
maybe some adjustments would be an improvement overall.
