Take a look in ly/property-init.ly to find out what \fatText does, then 
change
the TextScript to MultiMeasureRestText.

ly/property.init.ly:
fatText = \override TextScript  #'no-spacing-rods = ##f
emptyText = \override TextScript  #'no-spacing-rods = ##t



I've added the following to the manual:

Warning!  This text is created by @code{MultiMeasureRestText}, not
@code{TextScript}.

{
\override TextScript #'padding = #5
R1^"low"
\override MultiMeasureRestText #'padding = #5
R1^"high"
}
