You have to keep in mind that building the website is the
release-test. I keep building it until a run completes successfully,
at which point I dump it to lilypond.org.  I regularly do a make clean
all web-clean web, which will catch cases like this, but on my machine
this is too slow to do for every single change.

Also, due to the large number of warnings (most of which are caused by
the ancient notation code, incidentally), it is rather unconvenient to
use the warnings of a make web run for checking correctness.
