Using

max-systems-per-page = 6


gives no warning and a much better output.
I think LilyPond should be able to decide that herself, without needing 
manual help.

I'm not completely sure but I *think* I had similar behaviour recently 
when I felt that I had to do overly manual stuff with 
max-systems-per-page or system-count or even manual breaks.
