This is because of the names you gave your voices. 
They happen to be the same as those automatically chosen by 
the << { } \\ { } >> construct. 

So at this point the voice named "1" gets not only
- <cis' a''>8.from the treble, but also 
- a8. from the bass, 
and it combines these to a chord with three notes. 
The \laissezVibrer requested for that moment in voice "1" 
is applied to (all) the notes occurring in voice "1". 

If you rename the treble voice, this bass note is left uncombined 
and you can see it no longer shares a stem with the treble notes.
