Allow me to doubt: should the behavior of this piece of code
really change?

\version "2.22.2"

<<
  \new Staff { c'1\< \break 2 2\! }
  \new Staff { c'1\< \break 2 2\! }
  \new Staff {
    R1
    \override Score.Hairpin.color = red
    g2\< 2\!
  }
  \new Staff {
    R1
    g2\< 2\!
  }
>>


Assuming that it is desirable to make the two upper
hairpins red in this case, it sounds like a serious
compatibility issue.
