Yeah, that's a bit unfortunate. Basically, the default
child of Staff is Voice, and there isn't a way for
a command issued in CueVoice to "know" that it's in
CueVoice and let other CueVoices be created instead.
You could use this hack though:

\version "2.22.1"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \accepts CueGroup
  }
  \context {
    \name CueGroup
    \type Engraver_group
    \accepts CueVoice
    \alias Staff
  }
}

\new CueGroup {
  c'4 4 4 4
  \voices 1,2 << { d'4 4 4 4 } \\ { b2 2 } >>
  c'4 4 4 4
}


Best,
