Well, an incomplete example is a bug.  It just has fuzzier repercussions
than a dedicated command working wrong.

That being said, the bar number engraver uses
ly:side_position_interface::move-to-extremal-staff for its vertical
positioning.  The same would likely be done for marks.  The question is
what we should be doing here with regard to interrupted staves in
general, and/or with regard to ossia staves in particular.

If the answers differ, we need to amend the example.  If not, we need to
amend the code.
