No, I think you've found a bug. - If the melody changes faster than the
chords (so some notes have happenened since the last chord) then the
chordChanges property fail.

You do just like when typesetting music - use the s-command. This also
fixes your chord problem - use a space chord instead of a repeated
chord:
accomp = \chords { s1 c s s d s}
I know that this produces warnings like
warning: Junking request: `Skip_req':
accomp = \chords { s1 c
s s d s }
(another bug?) - but it is typeset correctly.
