As I replied in my direct reply - because it's not right. I asked a friend who
teaches music about the Mikado problem I had and he said:
"Key- C major
Bass note pedals - C-G C-G etc.
Chord in Bar 1 G7 (G B D Fnat = dominant 7th); Chord in Bar 2 C major (CEG)
Each bar has a melody which uses AGF# G with the F# as a chromatical altered
note (lower auxiliary between the 2 Gs) and therefore clashes (to create
interest) with both chords.
Each sounds fine on their own but looks illogical as a whole.
If you can convince LilyPond that the accidentals are in different voices in
the piano part then I would hope it would work. You could but shouldn't
use a Gb not a F# as the first chordsis a G chord."
Note his final comment - could use a Gb but shouldn't.

Why not set one of the notes to a different enharmonic pitch? It's certainly
much kinder to the musician who's trying to play the composition.
\include "english.ly"
{
\clef treble
\time 4/4
<<
{ fs'4 }
\\
{ es'4 }
>>
}
Cheers,
Mike

As is often pointed out, it's free software and the fixes depend on who is
working for nothing on the code.
I wouldn't think it would crop up frequently.
I made a workaround with a combination of forcing the accidentals to be
displayed, and then using force-hshift and extra-offset and a few other tweaks
to make it work.
My example is pretty complicated, because I also autogenerate the code, but
you're welcome to a copy if you want.

Thanks!
I can't believe that this is seen as a low priority enhancement...! This
completely renders lilypond unusable for the task I need it, which is to
serve
as a printer for computer generated music. The output is not ugly - it is
plain wrong!
Why doesn't the accidental_engraver looks into other voices as well?
Maybe I can workaround it by doing an extra pass before writing the
lilypond
code to check if this kind of problem may occur... But now I wonder what
other
kind of potential problems may occur with this accidental_engraver
algorithm...
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I think this problem deserves more
consideration.
Thank you!

This was one of the first issues I raised, in June this year. I think
it
was my first bug report:
