The idea of the changed behaviour of \skip was exactly that it shouldn't
create a new Staff context. However, then you still have to watch out
that you don't include anything else in your \global that needs a
Staff context to live in. As long as you don't use \RemoveEmptyStaffContext
you will immediately notice when this happens but I would probably put
the \global within an existing Staff anyway to be on the safe side.
