Neil,
   Thanks for posting this workaround!
It also repairs the collisions that occur when notes from neighboring staves 
don't line up quite exactly :

\paper { ragged-bottom=##t }
{
%  \override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'skyline-horizontal-padding = #1
   \repeat unfold 15 { <c'''-1 e'''-3 g'''-5> c' <c,-1 e,-3 g,-5> c'}
}
