First of all, this has nothing to do with variables, you will get
exactly the same result using \markup{ "FOO""." } (which by the way
is equivalent to \markup{ "FOO" "." } ).
Rather, the explanation to the space can be found in the documentation
of the \line text markup command. You could for example do
\markup{ \override #'(word-space . 0.0) \line { "FOO" "." } }
to get rid of the extra space.

When using a variable (or macro?) in markup, there's an extra
space at the end of the string. In the three lines below, the middle
line has an extra space (FOO_.) between the FOO and the period.
