Thanks for your patience with a new bug squad member, Ralph. I've added
this as an issue:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1448

The correction is as Jan-Peter suggests: to use a \line before the
elements you want to have in sequence, otherwise they get over-written.
The issue is that the behaviour is triggered by a \dynamic as the first
element, but the \line protects you from that.

HTH, Ralph
