lilypond-book does some trickery to make sure that

  \score

blocks are dumped system by system (so you can have page breaks in
between for TeX documents.). This trickery doesn't jibe with
--safe. My suggestion is to skip lilypond-book altogether. Extract the
ly code directly, and invoke as

       lilypond --safe --format=ps --png --pdf FILE

this will make a .png and .pdf for the file specified.
