It isn't as much "derived from" as it is a redefined copy. But the act
of copying is a red herring here: it would make no difference if you
defined it in the same manner from scratch.
The important thing is that the definition of TabStaff contains a line
\alias "Staff"
and it is that line and nothing else which makes Staff-level overrides
register on a TabStaff.
The original code would have worked fine after
\layout {
\context {
\Dynamics
\alias "Staff"
}
}
as well, but I am skeptical that one would _want_ such an alias.
