Howdy! It is well known that Ties and Slurs are problematic in LilyPond 2.18.0. As can be seen by a simple example from my project "Goldberg Variations for Guitar Ensemble" variation 22 http://www.gooeytar.com/projects/BWV-988/test/test.orig.pdf Notice that Ties in bar 1 are different than Ties in bar 2 or bar 4 or bar 7. Termination of the Tie is not consistent.
If we follow the recommendation of the widely quoted Gould: Behind bars, then there's no reason why ties should be consistent. She explicitly states that they can vary, depending on whether the notehead is on a stave line or between them, whether space is tight, whether there is other notation, etc., etc. The ones you quote as inconsistent are in different positions on the stave, and I would therefore not expect them to be the same.
