I reckon the \huge is only applying to the text block following, so the
second line of XXs adopt the default header size, which is larger.

Yes, if you change 

title = \markup \center-column { \huge "XXXXXXXXXXX" "XXXXXXXXX" "-X-" }

to

title = \markup \center-column { \huge { "XXXXXXXXXXX" "XXXXXXXXX" "-X-" } }

Then all the 'X's are the same size.

This is also the same when you use an 'absfontsize' (which I guess is what a 
\huge is)  or if you choose a different font.
