I think Lilypond is currently not going through the compiler at all, so
no partial evaluation or anything else is running -- it's just
macroexpand-then-interpret.

Incidentally in 2.2 the options you need to turn off optimization are a
little more complicated.  We have "guild compile -O0" which will produce
the right set of options but nothing like #:optimize-level 0 or
something that you can pass to `compile'.
