I had, and had earlier concluded that they had no effect.  However, using 
Y-offset on its own works:

\new Score {
<<
 \new Staff \relative c'' {
   c4 c c c |
   c c c c |
 }
 \new Dynamics {
   \override DynamicText.Y-offset = #-20
   s4 s \f s s
   \override DynamicText.Y-offset = #0
   s s \f s s
 }

}
\new Score {
 \relative c'' {
 \override DynamicText.Y-offset = #-20
   c4 c \f c c |
 \override DynamicText.Y-offset = #0
   c c \f c c |
 }
}

Thanks for pushing me that way.
