What I suspected. Like the problem that gets a workaround in
LilyPond-book (and I am afraid that the workaround will likely break the
TEXINPUTS manipulation and thus does not lead to a working program),
this is pretty absurd.
Instead of trying to find something nicer, like os.exit or sys.exit or
whatever, I think it would make more sense first to move to version 2.6
(which probably means updating to Jan's repository and/or merging it
into Graham's) and see how we fare there. It's quite conceivable that
blunders like that are fixed in later versions.
