Stem lengths not consistent

[Nick Payne]

In the following example, why should the length of the stem on the 
quarter note E in voice 3 at the end of the 2nd bar be longer than the 
stem on all the other single notes. It looks rather odd. Similarly, the 
stem on the <c a> chord in the same voice at the end of bar 1 is longer 
than the stem on the following <b g> chord.

\version "2.13.23"

\relative c' {
    \key e \minor
<<
    {
        e'2 e4.. fis16 |
        g4.. fis16 e4 g |
    }
    \\
    {
        e,,2 s |
        e s |
    }
    \\
    {
<b'' g>2 \stemDown <c a> |
<b g> s4 e |
    }
    \\
    {
        b,4\rest e2 e4 |
        b\rest e2 b4\rest |
    }
>>
}
