Hi Simon,
Thanks for your replay. To me it looks like a bug, as I would expect the 
dot to move along with the note, as does articulation. But I'll leave 
that to the developers.

In the meantime, Pierre Perol-Schneider mailed me the following 
solutions that will work.

\version "2.18.2"

myMusic = {
        << 
          { \voiceOne g2~ g8[ g] } 
          \new CueVoice = "OddText" 
          {
            \voiceTwo
            \once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #-25 
            %% do not work:
            %\once \override DotColumn.force-hshift = #1 
            %% better use:
            \once \override Dots.X-offset = #1 
            g2. 
          } 
        >> 
        \oneVoice
          g8.[ f16]
        }

\score {
        <<
                \new Staff {
                        \key d \minor
                        \new Voice {\relative c'' \myMusic }
                }
        >>
        \layout {
          \context {
            \Staff
            \remove  "Dot_column_engraver"
          }
          \context {
            \Voice
            \consists "Dot_column_engraver"
          }
        }
}

Thanks, Pierre!
