Thank you - switching order of the pairs gets something that works. The
documentation
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/other
says
 \with-dimensions x (pair of numbers) y (pair of numbers) arg (markup)

    Set the dimensions of arg to x and y.

If "dimensions" here is a LilyPond technical term defined elsewhere that
is ok, otherwise it perhaps should be

"Set the dimensions of the markup to be defined by coordinates of lower
left (x) and upper right (y) relative to the markup's reference point,
in staff spaces".

or whatever is actually correct here.
