Comment #11 on issue 621 by address@hidden: Dynamics should avoid  
cross-staff BarLines (e.g. GrandStaff, PianoStaff etc)

One argument against having Lilypond make space for dynamic marks, is that  
hand engravers do not let dynamics influence not spacing.

It is always better to off-center the dynamics from their note, or make a  
gap in the bar line (Jay's workarounds from comment 2).  I don't see how  
Lilypond can do this on her own but the workarounds got a bit easier:

\new StaffGroup <<
       \override Score.DynamicText #'whiteout = ##t
  { c'1 c'4\fff c'2 c'8 c'\ppp
       \once\override StaffGroup.DynamicText #'X-offset = #-1
  c'4\fff c'2 c'8
       \once\override StaffGroup.DynamicText #'X-offset = #-2.5
  g'8\ppp}
  { c'1 c'4\fff c'2-> c'8 c'\ppp |  c'4\fff c'2-> c'8 c'8\ppp }
  R1*3
