Thank you both for your suggestions,

I did initially write this as Aleksa did, but I think there is supposed to be a 
tie between the D in the third and fourth beat, and it is this I am trying to 
replicate, not a slur from D to E. This is the crux of the problem, creating a 
tie across different voices. I thought I had a good strategy for doing this, 
but then ended up with the unexpected chord grouping of the D and E in the 
fourth beat, as demonstrated in my intitial example.

I apologize for not being clear on this initially.

Apologies for the inexact answer, that was a bit too rapid - if there is no tie 
intended between the 2nd and 3rd f that is also possible without having to 
define three voices:
\relative c' {
<< { s2 d'4( e) } \\ { f,4~ <a~ f> <a f>~ <d a f> } >>
}

I like yours better than mine.
