The NoteNames context does not belong to a Staff.  \clef effectively
contains a \context Staff setting which is consequently picked up by the
next Staff in its vicinity.

Should NoteNames be aliased to Staff in order to pick up (and usually
ignore) this kind of setting?

Possibly.  It does have an Axis_group_engraver so it is Staff-like in
several ways.
