The handling of stem lengths is rather arcane- I'll see if I can
improve anything. In the meantime, here is a tweak

        \override Stem #'beamed-lengths = #'(1.0 1.0 1.0)
        \override Stem #'beamed-minimum-free-lengths = #'(0.0 )
        \override Stem #'beamed-extreme-minimum-free-lengths = #'(0.0 )
