Hi!
No, this is not a bug. This is standard engraving practice.
Musicians should be aware of this convention: accidentals only apply
to notes in the same measure and _at the same octave_.
This is by far the most common convention, IMO.
But many other conventions exists.
You should have a look at NR 1.1.3 Displaying pitches > Automatic
accidentals
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/displaying-pitches.html#automatic-accidentals
and use
#(set-accidental-style 'modern)
for instance.

You do not need to compile from source.
A simple shell script is provided to install easily LilyPond on various
OS, including Ubuntu (use Linux x86).
Go there for the latest development version release:
http://lilypond.org/development.html
Download "Linux x86: LilyPond 2.13.36-1"
and then
sudo sh lilypond-2.13.36-1.linux-x86.sh
and here you are: lastest development version is now installed!
Cheers,
Xavier
