So why isn't the \override completely ignored within the spanner?

OK.  Sorry.  Anyway, I suggest to document VerticalAxisGroup --
perhaps a sentence like

  This spanner grob is used to control the vertical default distance
  between lines *for the whole score*.  If you want to modify the
  value, you must do it before the score starts (e.g., in a \paper
  block).  Using \override within the score won't have any effect.

helps new users (like me) to get the right idea.

Anyway, how can I solve my problem (this is, changing the default
distance on the second page?  Currently, the only solution I'm aware
of is to embed two \score's within one \book.
