The alignment of text scripts is done via side positioning 
(side-position-interface).
Here they position against nothing, so the alignment code just keeps them
aligned on a fictive line at 0. The direction of these text scripts is DOWN,
so in effect they align on their tops. If you want them aligned on their
bottoms, set them to the other direction.


\new Dynamics \with {
  \override TextScript.direction = #UP
} ...


Alternatively, use a mechanism that makes more sense for your use case,
self alignment (self-alignment-interface).


\new Dynamics \with {
  \override TextScript.Y-offset = 
#ly:self-alignment-interface::y-aligned-on-self
  \override TextScript.self-alignment-Y = #DOWN
} ...
