That is because you put the mark on the topmost stave.

 Any ideas?

Try this instead:

\version "2.7.40"
{
  \new Score \with {
    \remove "Mark_engraver"
  }
  <<
    \new Staff \with {
      \consists "Mark_engraver"
    }
    { c''1 c'' }
    \new Staff \with {
      \consists "Mark_engraver"
    }
    { c'1 \mark "foo" c' }
  >>
}
