It will behave as you expect if you use outside-staff-priority rather
than script-priority.  script-priority applies only to Script objects,
and only the \turn is a Script object.  outside-staff-priority applies
to both (although it isn't set by default for Script objects).

script-priority is mainly of use if you have two Script objects occurring
at the same musical moment in several places in the score, and you 
want set their relative position just once in a \layout block.
