Use
  \set Staff.forceClef = ##t
  \once \override Staff.Clef #'full-size-change = ##t
to get a clef without using skips. Wait a second, you already do that.
I have to think a bit more about why you use the skips.

It seems that this bug has already been fixed and should not appear in the
coming 2.8.6 version.

In the meantime, it should always be possible to move the stem using
\override Stem #'extra-offset = #'(-0.5 . 0 )
or whatever value (I can't test it here, since I have compiled my own 
version
of LilyPond using the latest version of the source code from the CVS 
server,
where the bug already is solved).
