I stumbled over this problem very early in one of my pieces and asked 
about a solution in the list,
but even the lilypond masters didn't find a way to get rid of the second 
tie (at least automatically).
If I remember correctly, the tie somehow uses the first matching entry 
in the list of notes in the
grob placing process and therefore ignores the second note with the same 
pitch.

Sorry, but this is the current state. Perhaps you can insert a
\once \override TabVoice.Tie #'transparent = ##t immediately in front of 
the second tie
to make it invisible (my solution was very ugly, but I was in a hurry 
and needed the tune
as soon as possible, so I removed the tie with a white pen and 
photocopied the page ;-)
