This is arguably a bug, and here is the synopsis:
\transposition bes basically is the same as
\set Staff.instrumentTransposition = #{ bes #}
and the ChordNames context created by \chords does not count as Staff.
So this likely creates a staff of its own independent from the
ChordNames and keeps its transposition in there. Two ways out: the one
that likely should get into LilyPond proper would be
\layout {
\ChordNames
\alias "Staff"
}
and then overrides for Staff should arrive in ChordNames. Since
ChordNames is not accepted into a Staff (at least not by default) that
should not be a source for different problems but I am not sure that we
don't have user code examples where ChordNames _are_ made to be accepted
into a Staff.
At any rate, something that should work nicely enough in LilyPond 2.16
would be
\chords \with { \transposition bes } { ... }
since then LilyPond ignores that the override is supposed to apply at
Staff level.

In this case, likely triggering a bug. Don't do that.
