SkipEvents don't cause any grob itself.
This is a feature!

As soon as other (post-)events are attached to a SkipEvent they get
parents like PaperColum and VerticalAxisGroup.
Ofcourse those attached events may cause grobs, which are taken into
account by the spacing-engine.


For spacing wishes for single SkipEvents you may use the SpacingSpanner:

{
  \override Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment = 10
  s4
  \revert Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment
  \newSpacingSection
  c''2.
}
