That has struck me as odd for a long time, I discovered it through a

scenario for a teed note? Or is that a useless artifact notationally?

It gets even weirder. If one writes: "a8[ <>] b" in order to avoid having empty brackets then the two notes get beamed.

But it is documented as a "don't do it", so no substantive problem, just slightly unintuitive.

I seem to have found a glitch in using "[]" to beam single notes. The
residual beams appear as T-bars, rather than tails. I know that I can
use \noBeam, but I only discovered that when my first attempt failed.

Here is my MWE, and the output PDF is attached.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.24.3"

\header {
    title = ""
}

global = {
    \time 4/4
    \key c \major
    \tempo 4=100
}

melody = \relative c'' {
    \global
    a8[] b c d[] e[ f] g[ a]

}

\score {
    <<
       \new Staff { \melody }
    >>
    \layout { }
}
