Yes, this is the new page breaker that takes line breaking into account
at the same time as page breaking. If you want fewer lines, your best
bets are to set system-count (in the score \paper block) or to increase
between-system-padding (in the book \paper block).

There is some new information in chapter 11 of the manual that might
help, too.
