But it does happen in polyphonic piano music, very often to notate one
hand silently taking over the note form the other hand.

You're right, the tie is still horizontal, i.e. it will end half a
line too low or too high (I lack the expertise to change tie direction
as well). It still looks rather good to me - way better than the
alternative (tieing to an invisible note of the appropriate pitch)
because that would let the tie end much too soon.
Supporting non-horizontal ties could be good for other purposes too -
e.g. a tie may be slanted
in {\stemUp g2. ~ g2} to avoid the augmentation dot, or in << {<e e'>2 ~
<e e'>8} \\ {g2 a} >>
to avoid the stem. Even if these collisions are not resolved
automatically, a manual way to slant the tie could be nice.
Also, ties can cross staves - but that's probably much less common than
tying enharmonic variants.
