Mats,
This combination did fix my problem. Thank you!
Below is the working implementation.

The problem is probably that LilyPond chooses a line breaking with fairly tight note spacing, so the resulting glissando symbol is too short to show up. I tried to set \override Glissando #'minimum-length = #5 but it didn't have any effect unless I also did \override Glissando #'spacing-procedure = #Spanner::set_spacing_rods
(To lilypond-bug: Shouldn't there be a minimum length by default to avoid more or less invisible glissandi. Or, at least: shouldn't the spacing-procedure be set so that the user can set minumum-length. After all, the spanner-interface is listed as one of the interfaces for Glissando.)
