Yes, I see the problem...
On the other hand, without this fix, lilypond-book is not able to work with 
*.tex, *.html or *.texi input files at all (the bug is that when --output is 
given, then that wrong error message is triggered and lilypond-book refuses to 
work). 
There is also no workaround for this, except discouraging the use of these 
three extensions at all for input files :(

No, of course not. I'm thinking about how to make l-p work for both cases.

Cheers,
