Ah, I remember now.  It was some TEXINPUTS manipulation with a syntax
incompatible with Windows.

It does not appear that the respective issue ever was entered into the
tracker even though it was discussed on the list.  Sigh.

git log -S TEXINPUTS cranks out

    lilypond-book: Textwidth detection with included file (issue 3136).
    
    Fix the automatic textwidth detection performed by lilypond-book.
    This failed for lytex files that include an external file in the
    preamble, when such file was compiled in an --output directory
    different from the working directory, because then the included
    file was missing. We use TEXINPUTS to let the latex process know
    where to look for input files.

as the culprit, version 2.17.17.
