We have a number of issue already about what looks similar to this - basically 
Leger lines colliding with 'stuff'.

E.g

https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/3219/

https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/5020/

https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/3141/

https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/706/

etc.

Is this just one of these in another form?
