IMHO such a difference shouldn't exist for the default settings: if we have a compound setting x + y, then the beam patterns for x + y should be identical to the patterns of x and y concatenated.
If I understand you, you are suggesting that LilyPond's default treatment of (A + B)/D should be changed to group/beam as Gould describes for (A/D) + (B/D).
I see logic in that, but I wouldn't want to be stuck answering feedback about changes in long-standing behavior for a notation that Gould discourages anyway.
