I found a kludge-solution:

I created a new top staff, created a 0-line staff, removed all the other stencils, and then placed that staff directly overlapping with the top of the tall staff with explicit positioning. Whew! It works well enough.

Why not add something like the following to your \paper block:

system-system-spacing.basic-distance = 24

I suggest this because it appears (in scm/page.scm) that the separator markup is placed after the positions of the systems on the page have been determined and therefore has no influence on vertical spacing.
