Add " \once\override TextScript.extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0)" to the 
function. Then it works. Don't know why...

narrator=#(define-music-function
  (dim text) (number? string?)

   #{
      \once\override TextScript.extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0)
      s1^\markup
      \with-dimensions #(cons 0 (+ dim 2)) #'(0 . 0)
      \whiteout
      \translate #'(0 . -1.5)
      \override #(cons (quote line-width) dim)
      \wordwrap-string   #text
   #})
