Percent signs in ghostscript output files (i.e. those after -sOutputFile) should be duplicated on the command line. It's not a format string bug as I initially suspected, it's a documented feature.

http://ghostscript.com/doc/8.63/Use.htm#File_output

"Note: Since the % character is used to precede the page number format specification, in order to represent a file name that contains a %, double % characters must be used. For example for the file my%foo the OutputFile string needs to be my%%foo."

As it stands now, lilypond generates a postscript file but fails to produce a pdf if the original filename contains a percent sign.

fatal error: failed files: "Mazurek D%85browskiego.ly"

Percent signs in the input files (after -f) should not be duplicated.
