Obviously, something went wrong when I added the snippet a few hours
ago: the LSR is running 2.10, so I had to comment the relevant lines.

Here is the snippet, based on Steven's answer. It works here; if it
doesn't work on your box, you will have to install LilyPond 2.11
version.

%%%%snippet

\layout {
      ragged-right = ##t
}


{
      c'1^\markup "Without \concat" |
      d'2_\markup {{\italic{"pi"\char #'249 }}{\dynamic {" f"}}} c'2 |
}
{
      c'1^\markup "With \concat" |
      d'2_\markup { \italic { \concat { "pi" \char #'249 }
}{\dynamic{" f"}}} c'2 |
}
