Chord names broken since 2.16

Dear lilypond-user team, starting with LilyPond 2.16, and on into 2.18, the chord naming algorithm does not distinguish between a chord c e g bes d and c e g d' in relative notation. Both are named C9. This is wrong, since functionally, the former is a dominant, the latter a tonic, so there must
