OK. I have now developed a working example.
It appears that the \sectionLabel command does not reserve enough
space in the pagebreaking algorithm for a label that contains a column
markup. It seems to save only enough space for a single row of text.
Then when it gets to the final page layout, it tries to fit everything
on the page and ends up overcrowding things.
In contrast, a straight \markup command reserves enough space and
avoids the overcrowding.
Once I get some feedback here on the user list, I'll post an issue on GitLab.
