Dave,
It will box the next molecule. Certainly a quoted string qualifies.
More complicated things can too. For example:
\markup \box \column << { "string 1" } { "string 2" } >>
Will put a box around the whole construct, something like this:
+----------+
| string 1 |
| string 2 |
+----------+
The one thing I will say, I am not happy with the spacing that I got
there. I think that someone who is better with fine tweaking might get
a more esthetic box.
