This is clearly a bug! The vertical placement of the instrument name
seems to be centered relative to the total extent of the Staff,
including the sustain pedals. Example (for version 2.4):

\version "2.4"
\new Staff { \set Staff.instrument = "Instrument" \clef bass
  c4 \sustainDown c''2 c4 \sustainUp}


I don't really understand what's going on here, since notes with ledger
lines don't change the alignment of the instrument name, even if they
change the total vertical extent of the Staff.
