Ofcourse true, if you regard the structure of the single chord, without any envirement. That's the way LilyPond how LilyPond deals with chords. But look at: m = \chordmode { e1:m a:m b:7 %\once \override ChordName.text = \markup { Em \super "sus4" } e:sus4 e:m } mII = \relative { <e e' g b> <a e' a c> <b dis fis a > <e, b' e a> <e b' e g> } << \new ChordNames \m \new Staff \mII >> I do _hear_ the 4th chord as a minor chord with suspended third. I don't know if it would possible at all to teach LilyPond to extract the tonic or to look at a user-setted tonic. But maybe it's worth considering that the minor-chord-modifier is always printed, if written. Even for sus2 and sus4 chords. For now the commented override should work.
