It's a limitation of override.  You'd have to override bound-details with a function and then build the entire a-list.  Unfortunately, nested-properties do not evaluate functions for overrides.

Thanks!  Works perfectly.

For the record:

\relative c'' {

  \override TextSpanner #'bound-details = #(lambda (grob)

    `((left (Y . 0) (padding . 0.25) (attach-dir . -1) (text . ,(markup "hi"))) 

      (left-broken (end-on-note . #t)) (right (Y . 0) (padding . 0.25))))

  c\startTextSpan d e f\stopTextSpan

}
