As I might have guessed, Jean's solution is even easier! Also, I presumed you wanted the trill to extend through the upbow to the acciaccatura, but that was probably not what you wanted.
My guess as to why the script-priority isn't a solution is that it decides between competing scripts and the trill spanner isn't a script. Whereas outside-staff-priority evaluates competing values of all objects of whatever type outside the staff. Hopefully someone will correct me if my understanding is foggy.
