As a workaround, perhaps you can use a text spanner, this should align each pair of Ped and * vertically. See input/test/text-spanner.ly for ideas.

If you want all Ped and * markings to be on the same vertical position, then you can create them in a Lyrics context, like
<<
\new PianoStaff << ... >>
\new Lyrics \lyricmode { \markup {...}2.. \markup {...}8 | ...  }

where the {...}s are substituted for something that creates Ped and * markings.

Why make such a complicated solution? It's easier to just increase the
relevant staff-padding property:

\override Staff.SustainPedalLineSpanner #'staff-padding = #4


I don't know about the conventions for pedal markings. Do you have any examples of hand-engraved scores, that show clearly that all pedal markings below one system should be vertically aligned? (in this case, I'll add it to the bug database)

I had a quick look in an album of Brahms piano pieces and I found at
least a couple of examples where they didn't align the markings in
similar situations.
