Cannot start syllable in lyrics with \ae dypthong

[Joseph Haig]

When writing lyrics to music in Lilypond 2.2.6 (as packages with Debian
Sarge) I cannot start a syllable with an \ae dypthong.  The error is:

lily-1852058339.ly:185:24: error: unknown escaped string: `\ae':
      pr\ae- sta me- \ae
                         men- ti

Note that the first \ae is parsed correctly.  I have tried replacing
the offending syllable with {}\ae but it still does not work.

Please let me know if you need any more information.  I cannot find
recommendations about the format of bug reports on your web site.

Bye,

Joseph Haig
