I see this problem as well.  The log message is:

warning: compressing over-full page by 31.9 staff-spaces
warning: page 5 has been compressed

This generates one system at the top of page 5 with signs of compression in
the lowest staff, then leaves a huge empty space, then a highly compressed
system at the bottom of the page.  I have tried setting 
"ragged-last-bottom = ##f"   and   "max-systems-per-page = 2" to no effect
(lilypond is only writing 2 systems to the page after all).  As this only
happens on page 5 of an 11-page score, a short example is impossible (for me
at any rate).  Pages 1-4 and 6-11 are fine.  The lilypond 12.14.0 file was
generated by Rosegarden 15.12 on Linux Mint 18.  Compression is less if
"set-global-staff-size 18" is reduced to 13.

Any suggestions welcome.  Thanks for your help.
