Thomas' seems pretty easy?  You can also override one dimension only of
the instrument name.

incipit = \markup \score {{\clef soprano s4 \bar "" } \layout{} }
\new Staff \with { 
  \override InstrumentName #'Y-extent = #'(-4 . 4)
  instrumentName=\incipit
} { g'1 }

The bug report remains, though, that someone expected a (generalized)
InstrumentName to be aligned on its baseline, whereas it is centered.
