This looks wrong to me:

\relative c'' {
\override NoteHead.style = #'mensural
\cadenzaOn
s1 a \longa a \breve a1 \bar "|"
\override NoteHead.style = #'blackmensural
s1 a \longa a \breve a1 \bar "|"
}

There is no blackmensural style as such as far as I can see.  Do you
mean blackpetrucci?

There are glyphs - for example noteheads.sM1blackmensural so I guessed
the style.

Guessing is your privilege, but as long as you don't guess something
supported by the manuals, I don't see anything that can be called a bug.

The manuals for ancient notation continue to have some defects...

It seems to me you shouldn't need to select a petrucci style to get
these glyphs?

Petrucci uses mensural noteheads scaled to a different size.  So it's
not that surprising that Blackpetrucci uses blackmensural noteheads.

So we have any other style using _those_ noteheads?

Well, I don't know without further digging. However, there is a notation style called black mensural, and it seems only logical that Lilypond should support this using the available glyphs.
