If you set left.text to some value, then every part of a possibly
broken spanner wil start with it.
Technical speaking, if left-broken.text is unset it will inherit the
value of left.text. Some holds for right.text and right-broken.text.

In the end it depends on your needs what you should do. I wouldn't
want the text at the end of every broken spanner, only at the very
end.
Thus I've set right-broken #f.

Below a demonstration using the more simple TextSpanner.

\paper {
  line-width = 80
}

mus = {
  c'1 c'\startTextSpan
  \break
  d' d'
  \break
  e' e'
  \break
  f' f'\stopTextSpan
}

{
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "left"
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text = "right"
  \mus
}

{
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "left"
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text = "right"
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left-broken.text = "left-broken"
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right-broken.text = "right-broken"
  \mus
}

{
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "left"
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text = "right"
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left-broken.text = ##f
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right-broken.text = ##f
  \mus
}

Indeed. This updates only a certain subsubproperty leaving others unchanged.
