I also think this should be the default - as a work around I use this little
stabilizing function:

#(define-markup-command (stab layout props text) (markup?)
   "combine a transparent descender and ascender with the markup-text to
print"
   (interpret-markup layout props
     #{ \markup \combine \transparent\combine h g $text #}))

of course there's still more to write than if this functionality was built
in.

I couldn't find a feature request for it - is there already something
similar!?

I agree.

in this example the 1st measure is much longer than the text requires -
expected behavior? bug?
