My fault.  You can actually just let LilyPond figure out the right
context itself by writing

\layout {
  \overrideTimeSignatureSettings
  3/4 % timeSignatureFraction
  1/4 % baseMomentFraction
  #'(1 1) % beatStructure
  #'() % beamExceptions
}

_That's_ what "use music in output definitions" means.  What I wrote
instead was rather "use music in context definitions", and I got the
wrong context, to boot.
