p.s.  Isn't it also weird that the pedal-off symbol is not horizontally aligned with the pedal-on symbol?

I have a score where the sustain starts in the voice in the bass clef, and ends after the voice crosses into the treble clef.  It compiles but with a warning:  cannot find start of piano pedal: `Sustain', with respect to the
sustainOff.  The warning goes away if I comment out midi{}.  However it would be nice to understand what is giving rise to the problem.  I tried keeping the sustainOff in the bass clef, despite the voice crossing, but this did not help.

Here is the measure in question:

\version "2.20.0"

upper = \relative c'' {
\clef treble
r2. \hideStaffSwitch\change Staff = "lower" r4*1/2 s8 \sustainOff |
}

lower = \relative c {
\clef bass
b8 ees, aes c, b \sustainOn ees' \showStaffSwitch\change Staff = "upper" aes ees' |
}

\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff = "upper" \upper
  \new Staff = "lower" \lower
>>
 \midi { }
}
