I had the same problem (though not at the same location within the score
(not at a page or line break), so I manually added a little extra space
before the note the tie ends at, which lengthened the tie and made it
more distinguishable as a tie) using a technique described in the manual
at the end of section 10.5.6 (Horizontal Spacing)--

\once \override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #1
