It is mentioned right at the end of NR B.8.6. 

I think that by "dimensions" you are meant to understand 
the X-extent and Y-extent [1] of the markup that follows. 
I suppose that if the markup involves text, Lilypond can use 
the font information to calculate these dimensions, 
but if it involves just Postscript, Lilypond doesn't try. 

[1] as described for "ly:make-stencil" in NR B.15. 
 Also mentioned in NR 5.5.1, second paragraph.
