There's a regression indeed. It seems that it was OK in 2.11.35, but not
anymore in 2.11.36.

You can add a \markup \null line just before the page break following  
the
toc. Or consider setting page-limit-inter-system-space, see 5.5.2  
Vertical
spacing between systems:

I'm using commands which
  a) add a toc item to the table of contents
  b) add a title with possibly a page break before and always a no page
  break after it
  c) insert the score itself

If you're interested, you may have a look at:
  <http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/lully/lwv71.tar.gz>
where such commands are defined in lwv71/titling.ily
the framework being in common/include-commands.ily
and common/titling-commands.ily.

I don't understand. Right now you have to write:
  \paper { tocTitleMarkup = ... }
and you'd like to write instead:
  \header { tocTitle = ... }

Where's the win?
