Unfortunately, as it's a part of the big project, it has all sorts of
file dependencies and would take a lot of time to untangle it.

that's what i did.  But general solutions are better :)

I've tried to do as you suggest:

#(define stacc-corrector
 (lambda (ctx)
   (let ((articulations '())
         (staccato '()))
     (make-engraver
       (acknowledgers ((script-interface engraver grob source-engraver)
         (set! articulations (cons grob articulations))
         (if (eqv? (ly:prob-property (event-cause grob)
'articulation-type) "staccato")
             (set! staccato grob))))
      ((stop-translation-timestep trans)
        (if (and (ly:grob? staccato)
                 (or (> (length articulations) 1)
                     (boolean? (ly:prob-property (event-cause staccato)
'parenthesize))))
            (set! (ly:grob-property staccato 'toward-stem-shift) 0))
        (set! articulations '())
        (set! staccato '()))))))

\relative e'' {
 e-. -| -- e-\parenthesize -. -|--
 \voiceTwo
 e-. -| -- e-\parenthesize -. -|--
 e-\parenthesize -. e-.
 \voiceOne
 e,-- e-. e-\parenthesize -.
}

\layout {
 \context {
   \Voice
   \consists #stacc-corrector
 }
}

and the error is gone, but unfortunately the side-effect is that the
code doesn't work anymore.
