Hi,

I saw yours posts in April. I tested with the latest stable upstream, the 2.8.4,
and in effect, the bug isn't corrected.

I can do the same observation when I try to do LILYPONDPREFIX value on "out". 
But
if it is possible to display help of python script, it isn't possible
or help2man make his work.
