Well, try un-editing it a bit so that you have more than six measures.  
The basic idea is to
reproduce the problem in as small an example as possible.  It's 
difficult for us to figure
out what's going on if you send your whole piece.  In addition, by 
trying to create a small
example, you may discover that the bug wasn't a bug; it was just 
something else.

For example, I had a look at your original piece and I can't see 
anything wrong.  Lilypond
has to fit g32 d'16. in the space of one note of the triplet, so of 
course it'll be spaced
out more.  Of course, since I'm running a different version of 
lilypond, my version could
be missing this bug that your version has.  If you think that's the 
case, keep on working
on creating a small example

Basically, almost any bug should be able to be able to be expressed in 
ten lines of lilypond
code.  There are _some_ exceptions, but not very many.
