I'm inclined to agree.  It's not explicitly illegal in the abc standard,
but it's a bit ambiguous as to what it actually means.  BarFly
translates C>C/ as C3/C/4, but that is a different length from CC.
You could also argue that it should mean C5/4C/4, which would keep the
total length the same.

We discussed this matter at length some time ago, and the general consensus
was that the use of < or > between notes of different lengths should be
avoided.
