There are no properties you can override. Dash-fraction is deliberately set to 1.0 (continuous line) in Tuplet_bracket::make_bracket for the bracket "wings.". (Yes, ottava brackets are drawn by a method of Tuplet_bracket. BTW, I've been trying to straighten out some of the confusions in the bracket code.) You can comment out lines 449-50 in lily/tuplet-bracket.cc to get the right-lines of ottava brackets (and tuplet-brackets) to obey your settings. The drawback, of course, is that you have to build LilyPond for this to take effect. The problem is that there is no guarantee that the right ottava line will cover the desired extent (i.e, black at beginning and end of the extent). The wrong settings of dash-period and dash-fraction could easily yield a puny stub or nothing at all. There would have to be some adjustment of dash spacing to guarantee a proper fill of the space. Well, there should be one for any dashed line (as there is in some markup command or other, can't remember the name) -- an option to modify user settings to that a dashed or dotted line begins and ends with ink.
