So, I decided to try the latest git version of lilypond (2.19.16) to see
if this glitch still exists, and I'm happy to report that it's now
fixed!! Furthermore, the layout engine seems to have improved
significantly -- an overfull page I had before is now correctly spilled
over to adjacent pages so it no longer needs to be compressed. Hooray!
I guess I'll be using 2.19.16 from now on. :-)
