Yes, this is a constant thorn in my engraving side.
I *so* wish we could control line-leading instead of baseline-skip…

In my main include file, I have the following definition:
strut = \markup \transparent { Tj }
Then, in markups, I use
\combine $text \strut
to guarantee a consistent height/spacing.
I hope that helps!
