 OK, transferred the file to another box withe same Lilpond version (2.18.2).

I get this:
$ convert-ly -e --from=2.13.8 part-vocal-keyboard.ly 
convert-ly (GNU LilyPond) 2.18.2
and the first line reads \version "2.18.0"

$ convert-ly -ec --from=2.13.8 part-vocal-keyboard.ly 
convert-ly (GNU LilyPond) 2.18.2
and the first line reads \version "2.18.0"

This looks as if the default is not accurate
