This alternate approach makes use of the { } sequential construct and
startStaff / stopStaff. It also uses \new to create named contexts and
\context to reuse contexts with the same name. I hope it will be of a
little help. Does not solve your problem completely but mauybe it is
in the good direction.

{
  \new Staff ="solo" { b1 b \stopStaff }
  << \context Staff = "solo" { \startStaff b1 b \stopStaff }
     \new ChoirStaff = "bhoir" <<
       \new Staff = "sopr" { b1 b }
       \new Staff = "alto" { b1 b }
       \new Staff = "tenor" { b1 b }
     >>
  >>
  \context ChoirStaff = "bhoir" <<
    \context Staff = "sopr" { b1 b }
    \context Staff = "alto" { b1 b }
    \context Staff = "tenor" { b1 b }
  >>
  \context Staff ="solo" { \startStaff b1 b \stopStaff }
}
