That's because the two staffs are created first, lilypond needs to interpret
pretty much before realising that a new lyrics/figuredbass context needs to
be created. For this reason, the second staff is already created when the
lyrics is created, and the latest created child context is the one typeset
farthest down.
(this has to do with the fact that lilypond creates some contexts _before_
iterating music, I don't really know why this is done.)
