It seems that you rather want to use the method described in the next 
example in the manual "Staves with different time signatures, unequal 
bar lengths", namely to tell LilyPond to administrate the time signature 
and bar length handling separately for each stave. Just copy the top 12 
lines from the example into your .ly file and your original code should 
work as you expected it to work.
