Thanks - I see - ClefModifier is then an interesting case, I can
imagine people wanting to tweak the modifier, but that fails for me
even with the specifier "Staff." inserted:

\version "2.18.2"
{ 
  c'
 \override Staff.ClefModifier.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print 
 \once \override Staff.ClefModifier.text = \markup{T}
 \clef "bass_8"
  c'
}

Just shows the italic 8 as usual.
