Thanks for the quick fixes of the other problems. Less than 
3 hours from bug report to release, that's impressive!

I tried to find some directions on the spacing in the 
typesetting books I available here, but didn't find anything.

How about spacing the two note heads as if each of them had
half the total duration of the tremolo? Example:

\repeat tremolo 16 {c32 d} : the two whole note heads are spaced
                             as two normal half note heads

\repeat tremolo 4 {c32 d} : the two filled note heads are spaced
                             as two normal eight notes
