LilyPond is fine with UTF-8 (in fact, requires it), so this piqued my
curiosity.

I think the problem likely lies with the char->integer function; that
seems the most likely to mis-handle UTF-8 characters.

I don’t know enough of LilyPond internals to say if that’s a problem,
and will punt this back to them as does, but it does seem a likely
diagnosis.
