The same thing happens to me with 2.6.5. Contrary to the documentation, 0.96 
defines a continuous line and 0.0 does not produce no line. However, I don't 
see how that is a problem, if you really want a continous line, you can just 
use 'line' for the style as you did in the example. By using the 
dash-fraction, the style setting is being overridden. Use a number less than 
0.96 if you want a dashed line. And if you want the dashes to be longer, 
then change the dash-period, rather than the dash-fraction. The default 
dash-fraction is 3.0, so the following will give you long, closely spaced 
dashes:

    \once \override TextSpanner  #'dash-fraction = #0.88
    \once \override TextSpanner  #'dash-period = #5.0
