The attempted fix for another bug
  http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=732
affected your example twice.

I proposed that we put things back the way they were.  If you like you can 
try the proposed resolution yourself.  In your copy of the file 
'scm/markup.scm' you should see near line 74
  (xoff (+ space (interval-length (ly:stencil-extent head X)))))
change the 'length' to 'end' 
  (xoff (+ space (interval-end (ly:stencil-extent head X)))))
