Isn't that due to your use of the "noindent" option?

When you process the .ly file alone with Lilypond the first system has
a smaller width because *there is an indent*.
If you process it with lilypond-book with the "noindent" option, there
is no longer an indent!

I'd suggest (simply) not to use the "noindent" option.
Or am I missing something here?

Cheers,
Xavier
