Hi James,
     Thanks, but in that example the tie is just moved.  I suppose that's 
a workable solution for my minimal example, but won't work for something 
like:

\relative c'' {
        b b b <e d b g>~
        \time 5/4
        <e d b g>2. b2
        }

I noticed the tie/timesignature collision listed as Issue# 409 
on the buglist, so does this mean this type of selective 
transparency in a tie isn't possible?
