\version "2.17.10"

\relative c''' {
  << { <gis cis eis gis>2 } \\
     { eis,2              } >>
}

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \remove "Accidental_engraver"
  }
  \context {
    \Voice
    \consists "Accidental_engraver"
  }
}

But obviously the accidental engraver should subdivide its input into
vertically separate clusters and typeset each of them independently.
