You're right, Joram, \offset is not a solution.  In fact, it seems to point to
another problem with \offset.  In this example it prevents the dynamic
text being centered between the staves.  I don't understand why it should
have this effect.

\version "2.18.2"

\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff { g-_ g c' }
  \new Dynamics {
    \once \offset X-offset -3 DynamicText
    s\f s s\p
  }
  \new Staff { \clef bass g'-_ g' g' }

No, it's not a problem with \offset.

Substitute this for the call to \offset, and you'll see that it's actually an issue with X-offset here:

 \once \override DynamicText.X-offset = #-3
