Hi David,

Good point.
Perhaps it could/should be a parameter?

Certainly.  I've been thinking about this situation.  The difficulty is that the X-offset of the staccato dot (Script) is set independently of the ScriptColumn, of which it has no knowledge (i.e., a pointer).  This makes "position yourself this way unless there are simultaneous articulations" impossible at the moment.  I'd like to find another solution besides the workaround engraver found here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2012-05/msg00098.html.
