The way I would do it is to put the note on which I want the beam to be calculated in the melodic line and the other notes on the chord line. It's a PMX feature, not a bug, that you have control over the appearance of a chord by the way you select the main note.
Alternatively, in your second version, put \lyr\ in front of the second note inside the forced beam. (This kind of thing is discussed in one of worked examples in the Appendix of the M-Tx manual.)
