How about this one?  It's sort of fishy but seemingly does the trick in
this simple case.

\version "2.17"
\language "english"

\layout {
  \context {
    \PianoStaff
    \consists #Span_stem_engraver
    tieWaitForNote = ##t
  }
  \context {
    \Staff
    \denies Voice
    \accepts TieVoice
    \defaultchild TieVoice
  }
  \context {
    \Voice
    \remove Tie_engraver
  }
  \context {
    \name "TieVoice"
    \type "Engraver_group"
    \consists Tie_engraver
    \accepts Voice
    \defaultchild Voice
  }
}

upper_notes = \relative d'' {
  <<
    { \voiceOne r8 <d e>8[-. a'-. e']-. a2-. }
    \new TieVoice = "piano_upper" { \voiceTwo s8 \crossStaff { <b,,, c e fs 
b>2.. } }
  >>
}

lower_notes = \relative d, {
  \clef bass
  \new TieVoice = "piano_lower" \new Voice {
  \tuplet 7/4 { \stemUp d32[ ~ a' ~ fs' ~ \change TieVoice = "piano_upper" 
\voiceTwo <b c> ~ e ~ fs ~ b] ~ }
      \change TieVoice = "piano_lower" \oneVoice <d,,, a' fs'>2.. }
}

\score {
  \new PianoStaff <<
    \new Staff \upper_notes
    \new Staff \lower_notes
  >>
}
