Here is an update on your bug report, Yvand.

The bug you reported is due to a known problem in Ghostscript. The
Ghostscript team have fixed their software but we had not yet adopted
the fix in Lilypond. For more information, see:

http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2985

David Kastrup has fixed Lilypond.

We expect your problem to be fixed in the next unstable release of
Lilypond.

Cheers,
Colin.
