The relevant section of the output of lilypond --verbose (2.12.2):

It seems the invocation is incorrect, since issuing the command

gs   -dSAFER  -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595.28 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=841.89 
-dCompatibilityLevel=1.4  -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r1200  -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sOutputFile="./ő.pdf" -c .setpdfwrite -f "ő.ps"

succeeds...

Unfortunately I couldn't build it on OS X, and MacPorts doesn't have the most
recent version. I'll try it on Linux soon.
