Let me try:

The part is written A and should be transposed to be in Bb. So the  
normal thing would be
   \transpose bes a {
     % part in A.
   }

To get a 12-equal enharmonic equivalent transposition, one these  
should be replaced with the enharmonic equivalent, for example A#  
instead of Bb. So
   \transpose ais a {
     % part in A
   }

... which solves the B major part, but transposes f major to Fb major, which is even more horrible to read than a# major...

but while we are at it:
why don't \transpose and \relative cooperate the "normal" way an innocent musician might expect?
in similar cases i am getting single notes in the wrong octave, and the like...
is that a bug or a feature?
