yes, i think that the tweak definitely should work without further  
tweaks. it looks more like a bug than anything else to me. but since  
i'm not very knowledgeable about lilypond, i'm not confident to report  
it as a bug.

by trial and error i found this as a minimal example. please note that  
it's not consistent: in the first two measures all the beams are  
horizontal, in the next two some are not.

\version "2.13.44"


\relative c''  {
   \override Beam #'damping = #+inf.0
    f16 g a b    a c d g,    a b a c   d e f g,
    f16 g a b    a c d g,    a b a c   d e f g,
    f16 g a b    a c d g,    a b a c   d e f g,
    f16 g a b    a c d g,    a b a c   d e f g,
}
