Well, the thing is that this is a problem that can probably be reproduced 
purely by a TeX workflow.  Wouldn't it also occur when using the `pdftricks` 
package (which uses straightforward TeX/dvips/Ghostscript for creating PDF 
graphics to be included into PDFTeX documents)?  The TeX Gyre fonts are 
sponsored by TeX user groups and are developed by a Polish programmer team 
heavily involved with the Polish TeX user group, and in Poland PDFTeX is likely 
by far the most commonly used TeX variant.

So if one can construct a use case done purely in the (mainstream) TeX world 
where this problem shows up, there is a significant chance that they'll change 
the design and/or kick the PDFTeX developers enough that they fix the problem 
on their side.

With some hands-on example working (or rather failing) on every TeX system 
without having to install LilyPond or anything else, I'd be able to ask 
Bogusław take a look and suggest a good path.

It may be that until this is fixed, XeTeX might be a usable workaround.  It 
_is_ embarrassing just how much work the use of UTF-8 examples in our 
documentation is actually turning out to be for you.
