The current output looks ok to me. You can recover the 2.12 output by
increasing the page-spacing-weight parameter, but I think the current output
still captures the point of the test.

"Horizontally stretched" means that the ideal horizontal spacing would be to
use 1 system per page, but lilypond will use two on the first page because
it strikes a better balance between vertical and horizontal spacing.

The remark about the raggedness of the second page is important because
ragged spacing affects the page breaking as well as the final page layout.
Were the last page not ragged, lilypond would try to place more systems on
it so that the page would be better filled (you can check that I'm not lying
by changing ragged-last-bottom to ##t.)

Cheers,
Joe
