I'm not exactly sure why it happens, but a small change in
your example seems to solve the problems, see below.

Take a look at the example file input/test/ancient-font.ly
(Go to lilypond.org, click on Documentation:Index and then on
tips-and-tricks and search for ancient-font.) For the lifted version,
you may have to use the extra-offset property.

Note, though that the GrandStaff context will give you SpanBars,
i.e. a bar lines that cross all the staves, probably not what you
want. One possibility could be to remove the Span_bar_engraver
from the GrandStaff context if you still want the braces in the
margin.

%Removing the Stem objects completely seems to break something, try
% to just make them invisible instead:
\property Staff.Stem \override #'transparent = ##t

% Note also that any setting for the Voice context here will not

% or Score instead, since that will be inherited to all Voice
% contexts it contains.

% \stemDown doesn't make sense if you remove the stems, right?
