I've spent a while thinking about this, and I'm not sure what to make of it.

I agree with you in that this is a different issue than 1290, so I'll
add it to the tracker (with a different example snippet).

http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1385

I can't test to see if it's a regression right now, but I assume that it is.

Thanks,
