It is not possible to tie notes from different voices *as it*.
You have to *tweak* a little, with \hideNotes, \unHideNotes for example,
like in this snippet: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=150

Here is what I would have done:

  \relative a' {
    <a c a'>16 <c c'>8 << { <h g'>16 ~ \voiceOne g' c, d e }
      \new Voice { \hideNotes <h g'>16 ~ \unHideNotes \voiceTwo h8 h } >>
      \oneVoice  % ...
  }

*OR*

  \relative a' {
    << { \oneVoice <a c a'>16 <c c'>8 <h g'>16 ~ \voiceOne g' c, d e } \\
      { s16 s8 \hideNotes <h g'>16 ~ \unHideNotes h8 h } >>  % ...
  }

Strange.
Anyway, it is recommended to use \repeat volta 2 instead of \bar "||:"
to indicate repeats.  See
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Long-repeats.html

  \new PianoStaff <<
    \new Staff { e'2 a' \repeat volta 2 { g'1 } }
    \new Staff { \clef bass d4 d d d \repeat volta 2 { e4 g e g } }
  >>

Cheers,
Xavier
