There are still four ties, but two are printed in overstrike; you can
confirm this by tweaking 'tie-configuration:

\override TieColumn #'tie-configuration = #'((-3 . 1) (-1 . 1) (1 . 1) (4 . 1))

This appears to be a limitation of how the Tie_engraver sets the
spanner bounds: if there are ties between unisons in the same voice,
the right bound is the same notehead.  For normal noteheads, this
naturally makes sense, since the ties are between the two inner notes.
