Padding applies to the bounding box of the graphical element.  It maintains a 
minimum space between ink on the page, if you will.

Text spacing is based on the baseline.

Have you tried the Y-offset property?  I'm not sure what you're after, but it 
seems to work for me.

\version "2.18.2"
\header {tagline = ""}
{
    \override TextScript.Y-offset = #5
    \omit Staff.TimeSignature
    \textLengthOn
    \numericTimeSignature
    \time 1/4
    \acciaccatura c''8 g'4^\markup {\tiny Absolute } | \acciaccatura
a'8 g'4^\markup {\tiny Vague }
}

HTH,
