I relayed a similar call on LilyPond French Users after the RC 3.
Got few feedbacks.  I just reported one bug.  Waiting for some
complementary informations about a possible issue between
score-system-space  and  system-system-space (an example of code showing
the issue basically).

I agree.
Since this issue was first reported on the French Users mailing list, it
appears that the problem comes from Apple and affects other softwares
(using some kind of fonts).  So this is not something LilyPond devs
should fix, Apple devs should.
