(I removed   \override NoteHead.   from the source you provided.)
This problem exists in Debian jessie's 2.18.2 version for 19-21.
It's in neither 2.18.2 nor 2.19.44 from lilypond.org, nor in Debian
wheezy's 2.14.2. It looks as if the wrong glyph is in the font.

This is reminiscent of Debian squeeze's problem (2.12.3) with G-clefs
at sizes around 18/19. They would be printed with the top loop filled in
and something sticking out the side.

Cheers,
David.
