This is the closest I've got (it should also work in 2.18 though I
haven't tested it):

\version "2.19.8"

invisibleCresc = #(make-music 'CrescendoEvent 'span-direction START
'span-type 'text 'span-text "" 'tweaks '((dash-period . -1)))

\relative c' {
  f8.\< d16\invisibleCresc g4.\> f8\!
}

The hairpins align vertically, but it unfortunately causes the first
hairpin to end early. I'm sure there are a few more tweaks to make it
work.
