There's no way to force visibility since the
system-start-text-interface deliberately filters out any
InstrumentName which isn't at the start of a system (it can't position
it correctly; the text would end up in the margin.)
I suggest starting the ossia stave at the beginning of the system,
hiding it until required. Then you can move the instrument name into
position using 'X-offset.

If you place the main stave inside a StaffGroup, you can change the
default SpanBar using 'glyph-name. You'll need to shift it slightly
since it's aligned in relation to the left edge of the standard
barlines.
\new StaffGroup \with {
\override SpanBar #'glyph-name = #":"
\override SpanBar #'X-offset = #-0.1
}
<<
\new Staff \relative c'' {
c4 b d c
c4 b d c
c4 b c2
}
\new Staff \relative c'' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup \italic { ossia }
\once \set Staff.explicitClefVisibility = #all-invisible
\once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t
\override Staff.InstrumentName #'X-offset = #13
\stopStaff s1 \startStaff
\once \set Staff.forceClef = ##t
e4 d f e
}
