Here's an alternative solution that puts the marks in their own
dynamic context, keeping them vertically aligned:

\version "2.18.2"
<<
\new Dynamics \with { \consists Mark_engraver } {
  \mark \markup \rounded-box "x" s1
  \mark \markup \rounded-box "x" s1
  \mark \markup \rounded-box "x" s1
  \mark \markup \rounded-box "x" s1


}
\new Staff \relative c'' {
  c1
  g'1
  a,1
  c''1
}

\layout {
 \context {
   \Score
   \remove Mark_engraver
 }
}

Your code works in aligning the boxes, but my log file shows an error - can you help me understand it?
