The problem and the workaround are described in the current home of bend.ly:
https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/tree/master/notation-snippets/guitar-string-bending

"""
You can't use hammer-on and pull-off when \bendOn is active, because this
snippet uses and transforms the slur engraver. This implies that you
cannot, for instance, start a pull-off right after a bend release. This is
one of the reasons why a bend engraver is needed (see issue 1196 above).
However, you can work around this problem by adding an hidden grace note
where the pull-off should start; you may have to use the \shape command to
adjust the slur shape.

I could not find anything in the documentation nor in the LSR.
But I found this function in the archives:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-04/msg00793.html

I haven't tested it because there's no example file and I don't have time.
If someone wants to test it and add it to the LSR...
