This sounds like it might be related to my [long-standing] concerns about 
leading, etc., in markups: there either isn’t a convenient mechanism to deal 
with texts/markups *from their baseline [and not their reference point]*, or 
the convenient mechanism exists and isn’t sufficiently well 
exposed/documented/promoted.

{
  \override TextScript.padding = #2
  g'1^\markup { agt }
  g'1^\markup { aht }
}

Cheers,
Kieren.
