FWIW, 2.12.3 didn't divide the beams.
I didn't found a single point to apply, though.

Well, nowadays we have the 'collision-interfaces-property but adding
breathing-sign-interface to it seems to have no effect.

\version "2.17.12"

respectBS = {
  \override Beam #'collision-interfaces =
    #'(beam-interface
       clef-interface
       breathing-sign-interface
       flag-interface
       inline-accidental-interface
       key-signature-interface
       note-head-interface
       octavate-eight-interface
       stem-interface
       time-signature-interface)
}

\relative c' {
  \respectBS
  c8 d e f b[ a \breathe g f]
}

Sorry to be of not more help,
