It seems that the "" in the markup is ignored (or at least, it doesn't affect 
the bounding box of the markup). If you change it to " ", it works as you 
would expect.

IMHO, this hack shouldn't work in an ideal lilypond; bounding box calculations 
should be based on occurence of non-white pixels. Why don't you use padding 
instead?
