If you compare the following two examples, you see that the dynamics and
pedal marks are vertically aligned in the second example but not in the 
first,
where there's another note inbetween. This is exactly what the 
xxxLineSpanner
objects do. So, in the first example, it "works" to change the settings 
before
the second xxxLineSpanner starts, whereas in your example above, the
spanner has already been created when you do the setting, so it's not 
affected.

\relative c' {
 c2\pp\sustainDown c\sustainUp | c1 |
 c,2\pp\sustainDown
}

\relative c' {
 c2\pp\sustainDown c\sustainUp
 c,2\pp\sustainDown
}
