Moving the Instrument_Switch_Engraver to the Staff context did indeed solve
the problem. I hadn't thought of trying that. Thanks!

According to the 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/internals/instrument_005fswitch_005fengraver
documentation , "Instrument_switch_engraver is part of the following
context(s): CueVoice, DrumVoice, GregorianTranscriptionVoice, MensuralVoice,
TabVoice, VaticanaVoice and Voice." So it appears that the behavior I'm
observing is what is intended. I wonder if this should be changed in a
future release.
