Maybe LSR, I'll have to test with 2.18.2.

Well, it's a brute-force attack on our code.
The functions in output-lib.scm making a problem are
`select-head-glyph' and `note-head::calc-glyph-name'.
Though, while normal compilation style '()/default is handled in
note-head.cc. Only with my coding and others of this kind the error
appears. No idea, if this will happen for other grobs at other places
as well.
