It looks like a bug, but the developers need to have a (short) example
which causes the bug.  In addition, sometimes Lilypond doesn't give
very nice error messages -- for example if you try to comment a line
with # instead of %

Making a short example which causes the bug has two advantages: it means
that the developers don't need to compile a big example to see the problem,
and it also makes sure that the bug really is a bug (and not just an
incorrect ly file which produces a nasty error message).  :)

A few new things have been introduced since then, which could have caused
the bug.  If you can compile other scores (or test ly files), I doubt
that it would be your setup.  You should check a few simple scores anyway.
