Curiously, when you write the code like this

%%%
\version "2.19.83"

seg = \tweak outside-staff-priority #-100 \mark \markup { \fontsize #-2 
\musicglyph "scripts.segno" }
tem = \tweak outside-staff-priority #100  \tempo \markup \concat { { \fontsize 
#-1 \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #"2" #1 } " nicht zu langsam" }

{
\tem
R1 |
 \seg
 r2 a'2^\markup "(ruhig)"
}
{
\tem
R1 |
 \seg
 r2 a'2^\markup \center-column { "(ruhig)" }
}
{
\tem
R1 |
 \seg
 r2 a'2^\markup \right-align "(ruhig)"
}
{
\tem
R1 |
 \seg
 r2 a'2^\markup \left-align "(ruhig)"
}
{
\tem
R1 |
 \seg
 r2 a'2^\markup \center-align "(ruhig)"
}

{
 \tweak outside-staff-priority #100 \tempo "some MetronomeMark"
 R1 |
 \seg
 r2 a'2^\markup \center-align "(ruhig)"
}
%%%

you get the expected result in all cases (at least on Mac).

Cheers,
Kieren.
