I think I tried that and got errors before, but I am not sure now.

I just skimmed through the \overrides which LilyJAZZ.ily does, and
most of the stencils overrides are paired like this:

\override Staff.NoteHead #'stencil = #jazz-notehead
\override Staff.NoteHead #'Y-extent = \makeUnpurePureContainer

but not the dots! So I added

\override Staff.Dots #'X-extent = \makeUnpurePureContainer

and voilá: it works!

So cc'ing to Torsten, this may be useful for future versions.
