You're right.  Looks like \set is not accepted in a \layout block.
This shows why we are gradually replacing all the @example code in
the manuals with @lilypond, which invokes a compilation.  Errors like
this then show up immediately.  I'll look at changing the manual (unless
someone indicates this is actually a bug).  Thanks.
