This is similar to issues
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2245
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2451
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2452

and i believe to solve it in a general way we would have to teach
lilypond about different kinds of extents - see:

http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3239 (sorry, that
issue got pretty messy).

Currently the work i started on this is waiting until 2.18.0 is out...
 What about leaving it for now and attacking this together after 2.18?
