Do you have a MWE for this?  The snippet you posted only has a single 
staff.  I tried adding one...

%%%%
\version "2.19.82"
<<
\new Staff { a2_\markup "Text" }
\new Staff
\relative c, {
\clef "bass_8"
\textLengthOn
  \override Staff.NoteColumn.ignore-collision = ##t
  \override NoteHead.style = #'harmonic-mixed
  <<
    {
      \oneVoice
      eih4^\markup { \right-align "Sul D" }--\harmonic
    }
    \\
    {
      \oneVoice
      \textLengthOn
      \tiny
      \override Stem.stencil = ##f
      \override Flag.stencil = ##f
      \override ParenthesesItem.font-size = #0
      \set Staff.ottavation = #"15ma"
      \once \override Staff.OttavaBracket.direction = #UP
      \set Voice.middleCPosition = #(+ -1)
      < \parenthesize ceh'''>4 s
      \unset Staff.ottavation
      \unset Voice.middleCPosition
    }
  >>
}

...but I could not get any overlap.  Granted, "Sul D" and "Text" appear 
next to each other, but that has to do with text alignment.  If you 
change "Text" to \center-align, for instance, then the lower staff gets 
moved down to prevent overlap.
