I wouldn't call it a bug. It's a problem of assinging text to
a voice which is defined implicitely (via "\new Staff").
If you change "\new Staff {\sv}" to "\new Voice {\sv}" the text
is placed according to the upper voice.
But this is not a real solution to this problem, because here
we still rely on some implicit mechanisms (which may change
in a future version of lilypond).

The lilypond learning manual explains this in detail, see:
