To be more verbose:
it is not possible to define a \layout block _outside from \score_ in
a \book or a \bookpart.
Though even a \layout in a \score of a bookpart will not redefine
settings from a toplevel \layout.

Tough, in the given example it's not nessacary to define the indent in
a toplevel \layout.
Moving it to the toplevel \paper will work:

\version "2.16.2"

\paper { top-margin = 50 indent = 50 }

\book {
  \bookpart {
          \score { { c'1 } \layout {  indent = 0 } } % Working!
          \score { d'1 }
          \score { e'1 }
  }
  \bookpart {
          \paper { top-margin = 0 }  % Working!

          \score { { c'1 } \layout {  indent = 0 } } % Working!
          \score { d'1 }
          \score { e'1 }
  }
  \bookpart {
          \paper { top-margin = 0 indent = 0 }  % Working!

          \score { c'1 }
          \score { d'1 }
          \score { e'1 }
  }
}

Probably.
I think I could provide a patch this evening.
