In this example, \markup { "Piano " } was reduced to \markup { "Piano" }, and only \markup { "Piano" " " " " } gave the needed extra space. Is this a bug of a feature the ending spaces are removed?

It's a feature (in terms of the fact that it's deliberate). Lilypond ignores
whitespaces, so " " = "  " = "   " = "        " = "





 "

I guess that if you have " " " " " ", it forces lilypond to output three blank spaces.
