For me, it's a bug, mainly because the behaviour is completely
unexpected. Also, `-dhelp` says
crop (#f) Match the size of the normal output to the
typeset image.
which differs from the reality. Note the words 'normal output'.
Removing inter-line spacing between staves is definitely not normal
output.
