Really?!  I don't think that we check for text collisions.  You can't 
get them to overlap, even using \markup { \translate x "foo" }  ?
(see Overview of text markup commands)

If they really don't collide, then you could try using a different 
command... I think it's \combine?  Again, it's on that page of the 
documentation.
