I’d have liked to suggest

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"

myMusic = <<
  { \voiceOne g2 }
  \new CueVoice {
    \voiceTwo
    \once\override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #-5 g2.
  }
>>

\score {
  \new Voice { \relative c'' \myMusic }

  \layout {
    \context {
      \Staff
      \remove "Dot_column_engraver"
    }
    \context {
      \Voice
      \consists "Dot_column_engraver"
    }
    \context {
      \CueVoice
      \consists "Dot_column_engraver"
    }
  }
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

– but it doesn’t work, unfortunately.
To everybody: should we consider this a bug?

In the meantime: \once\override Dots.extra-offset. Not nice, but effective.

Yours, Simon
