I'm really sorry if I was impolite, all I meant was that I wasn't convinced that it was a bug.

Lily's goal is to typeset professionally; and if professionals consequently typeset that piece of music as stemDown, then there is in some sense a difference between lily's behaviour and professional behaviour. I suppose the most useful thing is to add a bunch of examples where stem direction is incorrectly chosen, as some kind of regression test. So I added your example to beam-direction.ly (& renamed it to the more correct name stem-direction.ly).
