None at all, but maybe I'm misunderstanding the command. Here's what I do:

$ lilypond --pdf -dcrop='#t' test6.ly
GNU LilyPond 2.24.1 (running Guile 3.0)
Processing `test6.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...
Preprocessing graphical objects...
Calculating line breaks...
Drawing systems...
Converting to `test6.pdf'...
Success: compilation successfully completed

Test6.pdf is a regular pdf.

You should also find a separate file Test6.cropped.pdf with cropped output.

If you don't: do you have any ly:set-option calls or such in the file?

No, I didn't, but I identified the problem. I also had 

\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"

as this was the old way of getting a cropped output.

Which essentially would also count as a 'yes' to Jean's question as that (https://github.com/lilypond/lilypond/blob/master/ly/lilypond-book-preamble.ly) is including a few ly:set-option entries into your file

Yes, my reply was strange. My "no" was to whether there was a .cropped.pdf file created and the solution was obviously thanks to Jeans suggestion. Sorry for the unclarity
