A couple of notes on your question. Firstly, 'extra-offset' will always ignore
collisions - it is really meant as a "last-resort" method to move a grob.
Consider using 'X-offset' in this situation, particularly as you are only
adjusting the X position anyway.
The reason the section label is omitted is stated in the log output:
warning: conflict with event: `coda-mark-event'
warning: discarding event: `section-label-event'
It's not possible to have a coda-mark and a section-label at the same time
point. Maybe simplest to just combine both into one section label? Does the
following give you what you want?
\once \override Score.SectionLabel.X-offset = #0
\sectionLabel \markup { \coda "Chorus" }
