Not knowing anything about how Lily works, I'm inclined to agree. in 3/4
(at least here) a measure comprising only 8th-notes will be beamed straight
through, thus (pseudo code):

e8[ e c' c c c c]

Whereas a 4/4 bar is beamed in two groups of four.

So you're correct, that there's something going on with default beaming
being broken up. In fact, with the following MWE (also in 4/4):

\version "2.19.80"

\relative c'' {

c e, g8 a
\bar "" \break
g e g16 a b8
}

the "g8 a" at the end of the first line is *also* broken into two unbeamed
8th-notes, but the two that follow the break do not. Why would this be?

Cheers,

A
