Actually LilyPond ties the right notes, but moves the Tie due to the accidentals (LP does not want to draw the Tie accross accidentals). The tie should be flipped instead (you can do that manually with a ^ or _ before the ~ ). I found that if a sharp is used instead of a flat, the tie flips. If a flat is used, its stem is apparently to high, causing LP to move the tie downwards instead.

\version "2.12.0"

  This is interesting: the tie flips if there is a sharp

  but is moved downwards if there is a flat. This causes

  the impression that the wrong notes are tied.
