Because the default setting for beamExceptions is not '().

As shown in ly/engraver-init.ly, it's

beamExceptions = #'((end . (((1 . 8) . (4 4))

Apparently we don't need to do that, because if beamExceptions is undefined,
it will go to timeSignatureSettings and get the beamExceptions value for the
current time signature, which is why \unset beamExceptions works.


Thanks,
