A tricky example -- polyMETER against polyRHYTHM

[mclaren]

Took some skull sweat to figure this one out. But someone may get a kick out
of it. 
What I wanted to do was to set up two polymeters (different accent patterns)
with a shifting polymeter against 'em. 
Here's a png image of the score: http://i.imgur.com/RtYUgRR.png

Here's the Lilypond code:

\version "2.18.2"
\header { 
  tagline = ""  % removed 
} 
% Lilypond bug #1 -- placing the \paper command anywhere else fails to
%  produce the desired output, but placing it here generates an EXITED WITH
%  ERROR CODE 1 message even though the score output looks correct and is
%  as desired.

\layout {

       \paper  {#(set-default-paper-size "a4" 'landscape)}
indent=0

   \context {
    \Score
    \accepts "TimeLine"
    \remove "Timing_translator"
    \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"
   
  }
  \context {
    \Staff
    \consists "Timing_translator"
    \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver"
    \consists "Time_signature_engraver"
  }
  
  % End of code.

===========

  Incidentally, I seem to be getting a bug, and it's an odd one. If you try
to compile this Lilypond score from scratch, you get an exit with ERROR=1.
Then if you comment out the lines

\layout {

       \paper  {#(set-default-paper-size "a4" 'landscape)}
indent=0

  and recompile, the score runs fine. Here's where it gets weird... If you
then immediately uncomment out those 3 lines, you still get an exit with
ERROR=1, but this time the score gets engraved properly in landscape mode.

   Can't figure this one out. What am I doing wrong with setting landscape
mode?
