Well, perhaps I'm lazy, but I'd let it to the user finding appropriate values.

Currently the TextSpanner uses 'dashed-line as a style-property.
If I force strange 'dash-period-'dash-fraction-values the out put will
be bad, too:

\relative c'' {
        \override TextSpanner #'style = #'dashed-line
  \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) =
    \markup { \draw-line #'(0 . 1) }
  \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right text) =
    \markup { \draw-line #'(0 . 1) }

  \override TextSpanner #'dash-period = #8
  \override TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = #0.5

  a4 \startTextSpan
  b4 c
  a4 \stopTextSpan
}

Once the patch is on Rietveld, it will be reviewed, so let's see what happens.

  Harm
