Have a look at the mailing list’s archives, it was discussed just yesterday or
maybe two days before in the GSoC thread:
The problem is Guile 2’s garbage collection that’s incompatible with LilyPond’s
internal data structures.
Only the Guile developers can really solve this; as far as I understood, there
are a lot more issues in Guile 2; looks to me like nobody uses Guile as much as
LilyPond...
