I ran lily (2.4) on this score:

\score{
{ c4. d8 e2 e2. f4 }
\midi{}
}

Then I ran midi2ly on the resulting midi file. The resulting .ly contains:

  c4. d8 e2 |
  % 2
  e2. f4 |

.. which, as far as I understand, shows that midi2ly does what Matthew needs. 
(bug or feature? :) )

Still, it's a good idea to look at completion heads, to properly handle notes 
that cross bar boundaries.
