I see. 
I can only hope that this will change someday, then.
Moving the Tie_engraver to Staff solved a problem very elegantly,
the problem of having a set of notes with a cross-staff beam,
all tied to a cross-staff chord. It was just as easy as making the 
same construct on a single staff - no hidden stuff and nothing that
needed further workarounds for midi.
