What about

 \new Staff
 {
   \tweak stencil
     #(grob-transformer 'stencil
       (lambda (grob default)
         (grob-interpret-markup grob
          #{ \markup \with-dimensions-from "a" \column {
               \stencil #default
               \vspace #-2.5
               \center-align "This is a long, centered text" } #})))
   \time 2/4 c'1
 }

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
