Yes. lilypond uses a simplistic approach by simply including the
whole font needed for a glyph. In this particular case it apparently
happens that a large CJK or Unicode font is embedded. As you have
found out, creating a PDF solves this. If you really want a PS file,
use acroread or something like this to convert it back.
