I wish that i could help you doing this, but it's beyond my knowledge.
 I have a suggestion for the future syntax, though - i think it would
be best to define cross-staff chords like cross-staff voices, i.e. use
\change Staff = StaffName inside chord construct:

<g c \change Staff = LeftHand g,>

You may consider writing a brief feature request that would be added
to our tracker (http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list), so
that this issue doesn't get lost.
(send the feature request to bug-lilypond)

cheers,
