Rather than subverting your major 7th symbol, you could also set up a 
chord exception that adds the arpeggio when you add the 15th to the 
chord (which of course you would normally never do):

%%%%%%%
arpeggioGuitar = \markup \override #'(baseline-skip . -2 ) {
        \musicglyph #"space"
        \center-column {
                \center-column {
                        \musicglyph #"scripts.arpeggio"
                        \musicglyph #"scripts.arpeggio"
                        \musicglyph #"scripts.arpeggio"
                }
                \musicglyph #"scripts.arpeggio.arrow.M1"
        }
}

chExceptionMusic =  {
        <c ees g c''>1-\markup {m \super \arpeggioGuitar }
}
chExceptions = #( append
(sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
ignatzekExceptions)

\score {
        <<
        \chords {
                \germanChords
                \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
                e2:m b:m e1:m5.15 e2:m e:m b:m b:m e:m e:m
        }
        {
                \clef "G_8"
                \key g \major
                \time 4/4
                \teeny e'4 <g' b'>4 b4 <d' fis' a'>4 | <e' g' b'>4

                b8 b4. e'4 e'8 e'8 | a4 a8 d'4. r8 b8 | b8 b8

        }
}
