Dear all,
StanzaNumber precedes the lyrics, and extends to the left. If it becomes wide
enough, it crosses the vertical line which connects the staves of a system
(assuming a multi-staff system).
Proper behaviour would probably be to shift the start of the notes and lyrics
to the right, and space the starting matter (clef, timesig, keysig) accordingly.
Preceding a normal one-digit number with a mezzoforte dynamic is wide enough to
cause a collision. The example below has a five-digit stanza number, which is a
bit rare in practice, but otherwise equivalent and simpler.
Regards,

Example code:
\version "2.10.11"
\layout { ragged-right = ##t }
verseOne = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "44444. "
Ma -- ry Su -- san
}
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff = upper {
\new Voice = "voiceOne"
a'4 b'4 c'4 d'4
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto voiceOne \verseOne
\new Staff = lower {
}
>>
}
