Lily aims at optimal spacing and layout and so this behavior makes sense.
No, this doesn't make sense at all. A computer software (which is in practice
always buggy) should never ever override anything I tell explicitly. This is
the very cause why LaTeX is a nightmare to use (however it thinks itself much
smarter than human beings). E.g. it doesn't even allow for ideological reasons
to change the margin with one millimeter on one of the pages, to let your text
fit on it.
