As I have a rather light understanding of LP internals I am not the best person
to answer this, but there are a couple of attempts to tackle this in the issue
DB: see
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3698
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=769
Clearly the problem is not trivial. As MIDI is widely acknowledged to be a
relatively unimportant part of LP I doubt this is going to tackled while there
are more important issues to resolve, not least the loss of the issue DB itself
in just over 3 months time.
