The `markup' scheme macro tries to mimick the behaviour of \markup, and
indeed there's an implicit #:line around markup's arguments.

\markup { markup1 markup2 }
===
(markup markup1 markup2)


\markup \column { markup1 \line { markup2 markup3 } }
===
(markup #:column (markup1 #:line (markup2 markup3)))

I'll make that more clear in the doc.
