It is related to the use of spacer rests.  Replace these with notes and
the timing of the hairpins is correct:

{
     % \override Hairpin #'minimum-length = #5
     \time 3/4
     \clef F
     << e2. { \voiceTwo g4\< g4\> g4\!_"poco cresc." } >> |
     d2. |
}

This looks like a bug to me, especially as spacer rests are commonly
used for this purpose.
