Might you also look at the \overrideProperty issue that was reported a
few days ago?
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2006-08/msg00209.html
The warning message suggests that this has something to do with music
streams.

\version "2.9.15"
{
  \overrideProperty #"Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn"
  #'line-break-system-details #'((next-padding . 20))
  c1 \break
  c1 \break
  c1 \break
}
