Well, how would you typeset
\relative c'' {
e8[ c]~ c a~ a[ f]~ f e
}
with that rule? So obviously, this kind of rule should only be applied
by looking at a broader context and applying it only where its
application yields actually better results.
This kind of "look at a larger context and choose a global optimum"
decision is pretty hard to do using LilyPond's current architecture.
You're pretty safe doing things like \once\stemUp and similar for
correcting such things: LilyPond will likely obey them in future even if
it ever gains the intelligence to come to the same conclusion all by
itself.
