I'm working on this issue. Here is a workaround. It's not a very good one as you can't use the time signature in TabStaff this way. If you use a different string tuning just adapt the snippet to your needs.

\version "2.13.11"

tabKey = \markup {
  \raise #3.0
  \sans
  \bold 
  \teeny
  \override  #'(baseline-skip . 1.5)
  \center-column {
    E
    B
    G
    D
    A
    E
  }
}

\new TabStaff {
  \override  Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #(lambda (grob)
  ly:time-signature::print (grob-interpret-markup grob tabKey))
  c1
}

HTH,
patrick
