That's a fairly clumsy solution to workaround what really happens,
namely that LilyPond is trying to be clever and stack things at
different heights to use the available space as tightly as possible. A
better solution is to tell LilyPond that you don't want it to put
rehearsal marks above other objects:

\version "2.12.2"
\score {
 \relative c' {
   \clef G
   \time 4/4
   c'1 d
   \override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0)
   \override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-spacing-height = #'(-inf.0 . +inf.0)
   \bar "||" \mark \markup{\box "M2"} e( \f ^\markup{Tutti} f)
 }
}

Depending on the situation, you may also want to combine this setting
with \textLengthOn, which does exactly the same setting for text
scripts.
Unfortunately, the only available documentation of these properties
seems to be in the internals reference:
