Nope, most every time this happens, it is just an alphanumeric string.

This code demonstrates what I'm seeing. The secret, I've found, is the 
\with { \consists "Mark_engraver" } ... which is rather odd, as I've 
had this whitespace problem for weeks now, but I only learned how to 
apply the Mark_engraver trick yesterday.

\version "2.7.5"

\include "english.ly"

music = {
        a4 b c d |
        e f g a \bar "||"
        c, d e f |
        g a b c \bar "|."
}

barlines = {
        s1
        \mark \markup {Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!}
        s1*3
}

\score {
        \simultaneous {
                \new Staff <<
                        \barlines
                        \new Voice \relative d'' { \music }
                >>
                                                                        
                \new Staff \with { \consists "Mark_engraver" } <<
                        \barlines
                        \new Voice \relative d' { \music }
                >>
        }
        
        \layout { }
}
