1. Open attached score (produced in 1.3).
2. Apply wavy glissando to the first note.

Result: The wavy glissando isn't seen.

Note: If I do either of the following, it will appear:

Move either note apart to the next line, or space.
Delete 22, or more empty bars in the score.

Discussion: If spacing is an issue, perhaps refer to page 141 of 'Behind Bars' for a solution: "Where the distance between pitches is too short to contain a glissando line, place the line above or below the notes, away from the stems."

I added code some time ago to enforce a minimum length for glissandi just as I did for ties. It's a configurable style parameter, defaulting to 1sp. The note spacing is automatically padded to make sure the gliss or tie is that long. Not necessary the best solution, but it gets the job done.
