I've never opened an issue for this one. See discussion of 2014:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2014-04/msg00055.html
When using \deadNote and override TabNoteHead.font-name with a font different from Feta, dead notes are not printed on TabStaff and the following warning appears in the console:
warning: none of note heads noteheads.s
or noteheads.u
found
Diff:
Issue 4931 make deadNote work with other font-settings
This is done by temporarily setting font-name to '(), causing the
default-font (usually Feta) to take over, reverting this later.
The regtest dead-notes.ly is altered accordingly.
Also, ly-syntax is used where possible.
palmMute and harmonic are not affected by this patch and still
work nicely.

Thanks Harm! I've tested some of my scores and I confirm that it works.
