A "\\" seems to tame the console output with no other changes to the 
input:

%%%
  \new RowReductionStaff { \new Voice << \test \\ \testier >> }
%%%

But that might just be sweeping things under the proverbial rug.

Something to consider is that RowReductionStaff could be built up from 
scratch in terms of the engravers you require.  At it stands, \Staff 
brings in many engravers.  A more restrictive set of \consists would 
reduce the amount of superfluous grobs you need to \omit.  Plus I 
suspect the MIDI performers would be inappropriate for this context.  
(But now I wonder what it would sound like to convert semitones into 
tones.)
