It seems like this is (partially?) on purpose: The stencil 
Line_spanner::print from line-spanner.cc scales the padding by something 
that imitates (magstep font-size). But why? I would understand this when 
bound-details.left.padding was the distance between 
bound-details.left.text and the glissando line but it’s the distance 
outside of the text:

\version "2.19.65"

{
  \override Glissando.bound-details.left.text = "a"
  \override Glissando.bound-details.right.text = "z"
  \override Glissando.bound-details.left.padding = 0
  \override Glissando.bound-details.right.padding = 4
  c''1\glissando c''
}

There is no padding but bound-details.left.padding and 
bound-details.right.padding.
