Well, I don't know why, but how to avoid it: you can use multiple voices. One 
of them gets \voiceOne, so the stems go up no matter what pitch, the other 
gets \voiceTwo, thus making the stems go down.

Hi Dan,

Notice how the stems in the fourth measure are disconnected and  
opposite.

Anyone know why this is happening, and how I can fix it?


You are not correctly coding single-staff polyphony — I suggest you  
(re?)read the appropriate documentation sections, starting with
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/ 
Combining-notes-into-chords#Combining-notes-into-chords


Hint:  ...  is not used for chords.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.

 Here are the first few measures of a guitar part in a tune I'm working on:

  composer = Dan Florio
   }
 
 Guitar = \relative c'

   e1 g d' g 
   e, g d' fis 
   ees, g des' fis 
   ees,2 g des' f   ees, g des' e 
   }

I doubt this is what you want to do.  You  are putting notes in parallel
contexts (different voices) rather than in chords.

It's much more likely that you want

 Guitar = \relative c'
   {
   e1 g d' g 
   e g d' fis 
   ees g des' fis 
   ees g des' f 2  ees g des' e 
   }

HTH,

Although, as previously noted, durations inside a chord will fail, so  
the first chord would have to be e g d' g1
