James,
It is a mistake in the new documentation (in two places).  What you want is

\override VerticalAxisGroup #'default-staff-staff-spacing
    #'basic-distance = #10

The explanation is that the staff-staff-spacing of a VerticalAxisGroup is set 
by default to be a function.  The method of assigning one piece, 
basic-distance, of the variable does not work if that variable is actually a 
function.


Dear docs editors,
 Patch attached.
(I had to wrap long lines of .ly; tried to pick a consistent indentation.)
