My mistake.
VerticalAxisGroup's staff-staff-spacing is by default a function, not an 
association-list, so it is nonsense to try to set one key.  I was thinking of 
default-staff-staff-spacing.

This is merely a docs bug.

Mark, I'm pretty sure the examples in NR 4.4.1 should use a real association 
list to demonstrate the syntax to set just one key.  I referred to the 2.13.43 
docs to remember the new property names, and found two bad examples:

\new Staff \with {
  \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-staff-spacing #'basic-distance = #10
} { … }

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-staff-spacing #'basic-distance = #10
  }
}
