No… I mean, if you look at the definition of \textLengthOn (found in  
property-init.ly), you'll see that it says

textLengthOn = {
  \override TextScript #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0)
  \override TextScript #'extra-spacing-height = #'(-inf.0 . +inf.0)
}

In order for this to work on your TimeSig context, you probably have  
to define

textLengthOnTS = {
  \override TimeSig.TextScript #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0)
  \override TimeSig.TextScript #'extra-spacing-height = #'(-inf.0 .  
+inf.0)
}

and use that instead [and equivalently for \textLengthOff].

HTH!
