The noteheads of whole notes are considerably wider than the noteheads of smaller value notes, but a whole note harmonic has a notehead that is exactly the same width as a harmonic notehead of any lesser value, and considerably narrower than the head of a normal whole note. This makes a whole note chord look rather ugly when one of the notes in the chord is a harmonic. For example, here is the final bar of Villa-Lobos' Etude No 1:

\version "2.17.25"

\relative f'' {
  \key e \minor
  <<
    { \override NoteHead.style = #'harmonic-mixed b1 }
    \\
    {
      \set tieWaitForNote = ##t \stemUp
      \grace { e,,,16~[ gis'~ cis~ e~] } <e,, gis' cis e>1
    }
  >>
}
