Is this text ("f....") right-aligned to the barline, or was is just a
coincidence that it appeared there?
If it's a coincidence, i'd say that this is unfixable.  However, if
the text was deliberately aligned to the barline, you may file a bug
report.  Correcting this is a matter of fixing alignment stuff, see:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3239
(new alignment will take barline thickness into account and thus there
should be no problem here).  That patch is currently on hold, waiting
for the stable release.

best,
