Hmm, after looking at it a little longer, it looks like the functions  
have changed. \fill-line works here instead of \center-column, so:
\version "2.12.3"
   \header { title = \markup \fill-line { "How Razorback Jumping  
Frogs Level Six Piqued Gymnasts" } }
   \score { {s1} \layout {} }

yields expected output, while

   \header { title = \markup \center-column { "How Razorback Jumping  
Frogs Level Six Piqued Gymnasts" } }
   \score { {s1} \layout {} }

yields unexpected output. I think this is possibly more a  
documentation issue. Although, trying to make heads or tails of the  
documentation concerning alignment is a daunting task.
