So why aren't you doing it in that way?
There are alternative options: the OP's original code will work with this
alteration:
\layout {
\context {
\Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
}
\context {
\PianoStaff
\remove "Keep_alive_together_engraver"
}
}
I'd say this is a bug in the documentation.
