You may try:

    \header{
            title = "Surfin' U.S.S.R."
            composer = "Toby Dylan Hocking"
            instrument = \markup { "Saxophone in E" \flat }
    }

    {
      c
    }

I'm not sure, this may be a documentation or compatibility bug; the
\flat macro must be explicitely defined by including feta16.tex to be
used in a TeX string.
