It results 1 and 2 have identical content, while they should differ.

PS: This bug is probably the root of the problems in installing lilypond reported here:

and elsewhere.
Since this works exactly up to lilypond version 2.13.41, I expect some bug triggering threshold laying between 7747 and 8200 (as above).
