It was intentional.  There is a reported bug about rehearsal marks
   http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1150
with lots of evidence that rehearsal marks traditionally go right of the 
clef (and key signature if there is one) so I moved the default alignment
point of the clef to its right edge.  I am still trying to get the docu-
mentation all updated.

The change was to the 'break-anchor-alignment' setting of a Clef, so you
can override it as you like in your scores.

Is there something traditionally placed centered above the clef, that be
reason to reconsider the default behavior.
