Oh yeah, you are right.
This is caused by lilypond inserting "word-space" whitespace between 
objects even if you force them to zero width.

This title-definition gives the desired result.
The "myGap" is in staff spaces, that are 1/4 of the staff size. I.e. in 
20 pt staff, each unit is 5 pts. I am not sure, how the "right way" is 
to convert this to centimetres from within the header-block.

    title = \markup {
      \override #`(word-space . ,myGap)
      \fill-line { \line {
        \with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . 0)
          \right-align \fromproperty #'header:myIndex
        \fromproperty #'header:myTitle
        \with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . 0) \strut
    }}}
