It's fine. The double stem in guitar music usually indicates harp-legato in the short beamed notes for the written duration of the long note, but with only one eighth note there is no difference whatever between the extra stem and a rest. Depending on who wrote it and when, you might use an eighth rest instead. You can do what you ask by having the note in both parts and merging the heads. IMO if you really have the same note on two strings you should not merge the heads, but there is no such rule. There is also no such thing as an authority on music notation.
