The stencil for InstrumentName is created by system-start-text::print,
which calls grob-interpret-markup, which in turn calls
ly:text-interface::interpret-markup with layout information from the grob.
You can see the information that gets passed there with the following:
\version "2.19.10"
#(define (pr grob)
(let* ((layout (ly:grob-layout grob))
(defs (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'text-font-defaults))
(props (ly:grob-alist-chain grob defs)))
(format #t "immutable properties of grob: ~a~%~%~%" (car props))
(format #t "mutable properties of grob: ~a~%~%~%" (cadr props))
(format #t "font defaults: ~a~%~%~%" (caddr props)) ; or defs
))
\new Staff \with {
\override InstrumentName.baseline-skip = #10
\once \override InstrumentName.after-line-breaking = #pr
instrumentName = \markup { \column { Viola d'Amore } }
shortInstrumentName = #"Vln. "
}
{
c4.. g'16 c4.. g'16 | c1
An entry for 'baseline-skip is added to the mutable properties by the
override, and there is a value in 'text-font-defaults.

I have no good answer for this. But note the following, which uses an
invented property which is part of no interface:

Personally, I've long wondered whether interfaces serve any purpose other
than for acknowledging grobs in engravers.
Hope this leads to a better answer!
