late when the expression starts with a spacer
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2571

Spanners like brackets and slurs, that are positioned relative to notes,  
shrink to cover the first and last notes in their span.  I suspect the  
reason was to find some fixed positions as starting points for placing the  
bracket or slur.

Occasionally we need to place a slur or bracket like this, requiring a fake  
note
 \times 2/3 { \once\hideNotes e4 e e }
and maybe the code setting the brackets is now good enough to handle  
setting one end on empty space.

Can we call this type -Enhancement? because it asks LilyPond to set  
brackets on anchors where she had not previously tried to set them.
