- Open the attached score and take the reset.
- Select the guitar barre line and increase Begin text size to 10.
Result: A note beam shifts unexpectedly in measure 2. - Press the "Set as Style" button for the property changed in step 2.
Result: The beam resets itself.
If in step 2, you change the text size to a lower number, then press "Set as style", the same thing happens. Or at step 2, select the "Fingering" in voice 1, measure 3, then move it 0.5 with the X-offset, then "Set as style", the same thing happens.

Anything that causes a relayout of that measure will trigger the shift - eg, changing pitch of a note. In particular, it seems that partial layout (any change that results in only the affected range being laid out) results in the shorter stems, whereas full layout (which is triggered by set as style, load, save, and other operations) results in the longer stems.
Not sure what the trigger is, but I can reproduce this from scratch using the same notes.
This one has even an extra surprise: When following the instructions of @geetar I indeed see the beam shifts. But now, save the file, the beams are restored in their original position!?!
