As you say, it works with '\new Voice' but does not without.
I always thought that implicitely a Voice context is created and that a
command applies to the lowest context (which is Voice here) if not
stated otherwise.
So why does  {\harmonicsOn … \harmonicsOff … } not work?

If that is no special feature with a good reason, I would like to add
this item to the wishlist: Make \harmonicsOn and -Off working also in
implicit Voice contexts (just as \hideNotes \unHideNotes and similar
commands do).

PS: I remember \harmonic not working outside chords. But that has
changed. Are harmonics always a special case?
