Not really. It fixes a bug I spotted when working on issue 2575 and 
which is independent from 2575:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.19.83"

\new Staff \with {
  \consists Ambitus_engraver
}
\relative {
  \ottava 1
  g'' f e d
  \ottava 0
  c b a g
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

3300acdd (issue 5532) does a check with scm_is_string which was changed 
to Text_interface::is_markup in f1649830 to prevent a regression (issue 
5559). This change doesn’t have to be picked because 5559 won’t be picked.

I didn’t think of that when recommending to pick it, yes … And it’s not 
really a problem to have script-chart.ly in 2.20 because any new scripts 
added in 2.21.xx won’t be added to 2.20 branch, will they?

I just realized how many new features are in master that will be in a 
stable release in 2.22.0 for the first time. I’m looking forward to 2.20 
and 2.21 release because IIUC that means that release-blocking problems 
will be solved and 2.22 can follow soon :) Sadly, I have not found the 
time to learn enough about our build system to contribute (if there is 
still something left that blocks releases).
