As a pianist I'd say this notation is perfectly clear. I'm even quite 
sure that it's a very common notation for such distributed repetitions 
(but I don't have my scores at home, so I can't check). But maybe 
looking at some IMSLP scores of Liszt studies might be even better than 
looking up Gould ;-)

I would say LilyPond should handle this automatically, so I'd vote for 
"bug".

Actually one of my first messages to lilypond-user was about a very 
similar problem with cross staff tuplets (typesetting a few measures by 
Ferneyhough). Fortunately in my case the answer "would you please try 
out with the development version" "fixed" it - from that moment on I 
never used stable versions anymore ... :-)
