This is all very mysterious. Are the curly brackets font characters? And if
so, might that have something to do with this?
BTW I have also confirmed that if you process a PMX file with 4 voices but 3
instruments and don't even invoke curly.tex, the bottom two voices being
considered a single instrument are joined by default with a curly bracket,
and it's the right size.

It's troublesome that any packages contain such scripts. AFAIK there's no
reason NOT to use etex even with older versions of musixtex.
As to whether you need etex or not with 1.15, the answer is yes and no: Yes,
for ANY musixtex file generated with PMX, because I took the easy way out
and had PMX always insert the commands
\setmaxslurs{24}\setmaxinstruments{24} . And no, if you use a manually
generated musixtex file that doesn't use more than 12 voices.
