Well, we've had this issue for a while:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=775
(the actual item was only added in June, but it's bugged me for
years)

Patches most definitely accepted. I don't know how to check exit
codes in makefiles.
In general, it might be interesting to look at all
"type-maintainability" issues. Almost all of them hinder lilypond
development, but few people want to work on fixing them.
Complaining about these issues will not be helpful.
