In terms of the build system, I can't think of any case in which
this is possibly the desired behaviour, so yes it's a bug in the
build system.

In terms of lilypond itself, no.  Specify -o ./out-www/ if you
want to ensure that it's a directory; otherwise there's no reason
for lilypond to assume that you want a directory out-www/ instead
of a file out-www
