Thank you for these explanations. Without *really* understanding 
everything I was able to create 'make-with-empty-x-markup' that produces 
a markup with an empty X and the original Y extent:

%%%
#(define-markup-command (with-empty-x layout props arg)(markup?)
   "Create a markup with empty X and native Y extent."
   (let*
    ((stencil (interpret-markup layout props arg))
     (y-extent (ly:stencil-extent stencil Y)))
    (ly:stencil-outline
     stencil
     (make-filled-box-stencil '(0 . 0) y-extent))))
%%%

and replace the call with (basically)

-\tweak bound-details.left.text #(make-with-empty-x-markup txt))

This makes the problem of the vertical alignment and extent go away, but 
of course not the horizontal aspects.

Best
