That does indeed look a lot prettier, but it gives me an error saying unexpected \etc. Can \etc deal with markup like that?
So there's no way to get elements from the first system to draw over the second. Then I guess another option is to modify the volta's stencil to exclude those parts. Is there any way (either through Lilypond or postscript or similar) to subtract and/or intersect two stencils/paths?

I've used \etc for rewording the definition:
Well no: systems are drawn sequentially; layering only works within a
single system.
