Hi Andrew,

without an example to reproduce the problem it's close to impossible
to say anything reasonable...

_Maybe_ you stumbled across a problem recently reported:
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Bug-restarting-staff-destroys-DynamicLineSpanner-staff-padding-after-line-break-td220605.html

A minimal triggering the problem (\break\stopStaff \startStaff needed)
and showing not aligning dynamics (\new Voice needed):

\new Staff {
  \override Staff.DynamicLineSpanner.staff-padding = 5
  c'1\f\>
  \break
  \stopStaff \startStaff
  e' <>\!
  \new Voice { d'\p\< e'\! }
}

Also, see my attempt of an workaround there.

HTH a bit,
  Harm
