When applying minimum-length it seems the length of the
hairpin is measured from the start of the note, not the start
of the hairpin, i.e. the dynamic marking is included in the
hairpin length.  You can see this if you make the length longer.

The following change works better (with the missing
back slashes added), although the pp still shortens the hairpin.

\relative c'' {
  \override Hairpin #'minimum-length = #5
  c8\< c\! c\> c\!
  c8\pp\< c\! c\> c\!
}

The following workround might suit you better, as the
dynamic is now detached from the hairpin:

\relative c'' {
  \override Hairpin #'minimum-length = #5
  c8\< c\! c\> c8*1/2\! s16\pp
  c8\< c\! c\> c\!
}
