Here's how I did it:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

global = {
  \time 12/8
}

rightHand = \relative c' {
  \global
  \showStaffSwitch
  <b d a'>2.
  <<
    { \voiceTwo \change Staff = down <b e g>4. } % <-- change here
    \new Voice { \oneVoice r4. } % <-- and here
  >>
  \hideStaffSwitch
  \change Staff = up
  \voiceOne
  <e g a c>4. |
}

leftHand = \relative c, {
  \global
  \clef bass
  <c g' f'>2. s4. r |
}

\score {
  \new GrandStaff <<
    \new Staff = up \rightHand
    \new Staff = down \leftHand
  >>
}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I think the key was keeping the context alive in the parallel music (<< >>)
