You mean the collision avoidance for text script, right (remember
the email discussion the other week)?
Anyway, I'm afraid it's not that simple, since text scripts are
typeset above a certain note and the collision avoidance will only
avoid collisions with that specific note, not the surrounding notes.
Example:
\score{\relative c'''{c c,^"Long text script" c'}
\layout{raggedright = ##t}
}
Since \mark typesets texts between notes, it would have to take
both the note before and the note after into account.

On the other hand, it seems that the horizontal spacing is affected
in some way by rehearsal marks, for example:
\score{\relative c'''{c c \mark "ABCD" c c |}
\layout{raggedright = ##t}
}
However, it seems that it only takes the right half of the mark
into account, not the left half. Also, this only happens for
marks in the middle of a measure, not at bar lines:
\score{\relative c'''{c2 c \mark "ABCD" | c c |}
\layout{raggedright = ##t}
}

Bug or feature?
