It looks like a bug to me that you get this collision, even though I 
guess that
LilyPond makes some approximations to the actual slur shape when it 
calculates
the vertical spacing. Can you please send a .ly file example (as small 
as possible)
to bug-lilypond.

I don't really understand what kind of solution you want. The natural 
solution
would be to increase the spacing between the two systems (score lines).
One trick to do that, if everything else fails, is described in
