That sounds like a really special case: MarkLine context AND hidden 
Staff AND this staff contains notes (why is it hidden then?) AND 
Y-offset is set AND extra-spacing-width is set …

I’m not sure, maybe it’s expected behaviour in many cases and only your 
case is so special that it looks buggy even if it’s consistent.

Using \markLengthOn instead of \override 
MetronomeMark.extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0) works for me. Would that 
help in your use case?
