I verified that your example works fine with all versions >=2.2.6 but not with 
2.2.5. I would really recommend you to upgrade to a later lilypond version.

P.s. if you send complete examples that can be compiled, i.e. like:

upper = \notes \relative f'' {
        \tempo 4 = 132 f4^\markup { " " } c a g8 bes | a4 g8 bes a f c' bes |
a4. c8 f4 e8 d | c a bes g a c bes d\break |
}
\score {\new Staff \upper }

then it is a lot easier to try to reproduce your problem.
