That's not omitting the "layout-object".  The layout-object is the \mark
in this case.

In earlier versions of LilyPond, the Tweak_engraver lived mostly in some
bottom-level contexts, so its action was limited to items emitted in
those contexts.  It has since then been moved to Score level, so its
action is a lot more generally available and its behavior requires less
hand-waving to explain.
