\markup command doesn't seem to honor \paper values

[Knute Snortum]

It seems that when you use a \markup command the values in the \paper block
aren't honored.  Here is a minimal example:

%%% Start
\version "2.19.81"

chordNames = \chordmode {
  c1 f g a:m \break
  c f g:7 c \break
}
words = \lyricmode {
  Here_are some random lyrics
  These are more lyrics
}

\paper {
  indent = 0
  ragged-right = ##t

  system-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0)
                             (minimum-distance . 0)
                             (padding . 1)
                             (stretchability . 0))
}

\markup {
  \score {
    <<
      \new ChordNames \chordNames
      \new Lyrics \words
    >>
    \layout { \context { \ChordNames } }
  }
}
%%% End

The question may arise, Why would you want to do this?  Which leads to the
not-so-minimal example:

%%% Start
\version "2.19.81"

chordNames = \chordmode {
  c1 f g a:m \break
  c f g:7 c \break
}
words = \lyricmode {
  Here_are some random lyrics
  These are more lyrics
}

\paper {
  indent = #0
  ragged-right = ##t

  % padding here controls space between lyrics and next line
  system-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0)
                             (minimum-distance . 0)
                             (padding . 1)
                             (stretchability . 0))
}

% Single column outside of markup is spaced according to \paper variables
\score {
  <<
    \new ChordNames \chordNames
    \new Lyrics \words
  >>
  \layout { \context { \ChordNames } }
}

% Two columns inside markup do not respect \paper spacing variables
\markup {
  \vspace #3
  \score {
    <<
      \new ChordNames \chordNames
      \new Lyrics \words
    >>
    \layout { \context { \ChordNames } }
  }
  \hspace #8
  \score {
    <<
      \new ChordNames \chordNames
      \new Lyrics \words
    >>
    \layout { \context { \ChordNames } }
  }
}
%%% End

Here you can see that the desired output would be in columns.  So the
questions would be: is this a bug?  Is there a better way to do this?
