You can also try to use some ugly trick, like:

A = \transpose c des \relative {c'4 d e f g a b c}
S = \transpose d des {\hideNotes \relative {d'^1 e^1 f^1 g^1 a^1 b^1 c^1 d^1}}
\new Staff <<
\A
\new Voice \S

This works, and it might take less time to do.

The problem is that it _should_ be affected if the text sticks out to the left 
of the notehead. Solving the general problem of script placement is a very 
big task, and the time for development is limited.

Anyway, I added the bug to CVS as text-spacing-accidental.ly.
