Yes. It's somewhat like
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/4432,
and somewhat different at the same time.
I'm not adding it to the tracker because
we already have many similar bugs and it
is amply clear by now that cross-staff handling
will need a complete overhauling and not
just localized fixes.

I am not sure what you have tried exactly. The code
  \tweak Y-offset 12 \tempo "Allegro"
works over here with the same version.
