It's a bug.  I'm not certain if it's been fixed in the devel version yet
or not.

Yes.  For the devel version,
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.3/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/ 
Page-breaking.html

I'm pretty certain that it exists for the 2.2 stream as well, but I  
don't
have that manual bookmarked.  It should be easy for you to find the  
relevant
section of the manual, though.  :)

Extra control over header layout is one of the big improvements in the  
upcoming
LilyPond 3.0.  I know that doesn't help you right now, though.

No.
