Hello,
It looks like an instance of issue 1411.
Mike Solomon fixed a lot of cross-staff issues in the past but the ones with slurs seem to remain open.
Maybe someone could build on Mike's work on cross-staff beam collisions to solve cross-staff collisions with slurs.
I do not know a nice workaround for you though, sorry.

> This might be the closest I can get to a tiny example right now. It isn't exactly doing what it's doing in my score. In my score there is more space between the voice and piano. Where it says crystal in this example is where the slur is colliding with the lyrics in my score. The accompaniment is chords, the melody is approximately correct.
