Hi, Kieren,

I guess the reason is that the markup text is evaluated w.r.t. the 
Hairpin grob, which usually does not hold a font-size property, and thus 
is not affected by the fontSize setting.  Thus, the 
grob-interpret-markup falls back to the per-score layout defaults, which 
is font-size = #0.
The workaround is to use a \override Hairpin #'font-size = #42 in the 
\with block (for your favourite value of 42, of course).


HTH,
Alexander
