When I look at the present entry for that in define-grobs.scm (LP 2.12.2), it 
is:

(meta . ((class . Spanner)
         (object-callbacks . ((normal-stems . ,ly:beam::calc-normal-stems))) 
         (interfaces . (staff-symbol-referencer-interface
                        unbreakable-spanner-interface
                        beam-interface
                        font-interface))))))

Are you suggesting that I should comment that and replace it with what you have 
above?
