Hi Mirosław,

markup-markup-spacing is for the spacing between multiple top-level 
markup blocks, like in

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"
\markup "Hello"
\markup "world"
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The headers, however, are typeset as a single \markup block, defined as 
the paper variable bookTitleMarkup, and another single \markup block, 
defined as scoreTitleMarkup.
So in order to adjust spacing between e.g. title and subtitle you have 
to redefine bookTitleMarkup:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"
\header {
  title = "Beautiful piece"
  subtitle = \markup { in A \flat minor }
}
\paper {
  bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
    \override #'(baseline-skip . 5)
    \column {
      \with-color #red \fill-line { \null \fromproperty #'header:title 
\null }
      %\vspace #10
      \fill-line { \null \fromproperty #'header:subtitle \null }
    }
  }
}
{ c' }
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

This allows creating stylesheets with your own preference on how to 
place and format the titles.
