Nobody is currently actively developing it. The workaround is easy enough (add an exception) that the priority of fixing the namer is not very high on the development list. The chord namer is written in scheme, so it can be worked on even without the ability to compile lilypond, so this task is available for anybody who is interested. Please file a bug report to lilypond-bug; we ought to try to collect all the cases where the chord namer fails to work properly. BTW, James, do you want german note names for your chords (h instead of bes, IIRC)? Your init file includes a line that sets german note names. You may want to eliminate that line.
