Bummer.  You can remove the \concat {} to get a space between E and flat.
LilyPond reads unicode, in the utf-8 encoding, so you can use the flat
character ♭, unicode 2ffD to write E♭ directly in your input file.  Your
text editor might not have a glyph for the flat, but you will see the flat
sign from the roman font in the PDF file.

This produces acceptable (to my eyes) results for the subtitle using 2.16.1:
subtitle = \markup { "Part for E" \concat { \translate #'(-0.3 . 0.6) \abs-fontsize #8 \flat } "saxophone" }
