Have a look at the attached source and the png, the problem is obvious.
The first appearance dictates which of the two enharmonic equivalents is
chosen for the ambitus.
Yes. The ambitus was formerly sorted in staff-position order, and there
was a complaint a while back that if one has E-sharp and F-flat, the
ambitus shows the E-sharp, so it was changed to pitch order.
If one sets the actual tuning in LilyPond, so that she knows that E-sharp
is a slightly higher pitch than F, she will make the ambitus consistently.
Maybe not everyone agrees with me that E-sharp is a higher pitch than F.
LilyPond's default concept of pitch uses 12 equal divisions of the octave, so
the cases you show are ties.
Maybe by default LilyPond could break the ties based on staff-position,
which would be wrong to my way of thinking, but less surprising.
