I didn’t figure the exact reason, but generally it’s because of the 
nested << \\ >>. The following works perfectly fine:

\version "2.19.17"

{
  <<
    \clef bass \time 3/4
    \relative c' { \voiceOne g2. }
    \\
    \relative c { \voiceTwo g4 }
    \\
    \relative c { \voiceFour g( bes g) }
  >>
}

Note the indenting, breaking, and spaces.

You would need \tweak then to affect only one of them.

I can only ask you to try again and understand what I wrote about voices 
and chords: if you have three notes in three different voices, everyone 
will need its own stem, whereas in a chord, several noteheads may share 
a stem.
