OK, yes this is right; the postscript is fine, the conversion to pdf
is the problem.

So some fiddling produces the following workaround:

1. make sure ps2pdf is in the PATH
2. set GS_LIB before calling ps2pdf
3. call ps2pdf on the source postscript file with PAPERSIZE set manually

The OS X step-by-step is then

 export PATH="/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin":$PATH
 export 
GS_LIB="/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/ghostscript/8.50/lib/"
 ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=11x17 foo.ps

Adjust /whatever/LilyPond.app accordingly for other OSes.
