I am not certain negative \hspace or \vspace is supported.  For \hspace, 
it probably only works by fluke.

Regardless, in order to overlap the staff, you must disable 
outside-staff-priority.  Additionally, you may need to specify negative 
padding.  Consider:

%%%%
\relative c {
  \time 3/4
  g'' e' d-\tweak outside-staff-priority ##f
          -\tweak X-offset -1.2 -\tweak Y-offset 1
          _\markup \with-color #red \vcenter x
}

\relative c {
  \time 3/4
  g'' e' d-\tweak outside-staff-priority ##f
          -\tweak padding #-5
          _\markup \translate #'(-1.2 . 3.5)
                   \with-color #red \vcenter x
}
%%%%
