Would markup work just as well in your case ?
  labelTreble =  <>^\markup\bold"treb."
This automatically conforms to the size of the Voice or CueVoice in which
it is used.

Or, do you do other things with the addInstrumentDefinition ?

The simplest way to fix the double-printing issue would be 
1) make all \instrumentSwitch effects apply to to the Staff,
2) have convert-ly change
 \set instrumentCueName="a"   ==>  \set Staff.instrumentSwitchMark="a"
3) remove the documentation about using
 \set instrumentCueName
as a way to make only the markup, without other \intrumentSwitch effects
