Are harmonic trills possible?

Hi,

Is it possible to override trill pitch note heads in the shape of a (diamond) natural harmonic?

This attempt ...

### BEGIN ###

\version "2.19.17"                                                              
\language "english"                                                             
                                                                                
                                                                                
\new Staff {                                                                    
    \override TrillPitchHead.style = #'diamond                                  
    \pitchedTrill                                                               
    c'4 \startTrillSpan cs'                                                     
    d'4 \stopTrillSpan                                                          
    e'4                                                                         
    f'4                                                                         
}                                                                               

### END ###

... prints no trill pitch note head at all:

GNU LilyPond 2.19.17
Processing `tmp.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...
Preprocessing graphical objects...
programming error: must have stem dir for note head
continuing, cross fingers
tmp.ly:8:9: warning: none of note heads `noteheads.s' or `noteheads.d' found
    c'4 
        \startTrillSpan cs'


Does anyone have a workaround? (I'm wanting the sort of mixed trill possible between an open string and one of the string's harmonic nodes, standard as per Saariaho, Sciarrino and so on.)
