Have you tried changing the lilypond call in Frescobaldi to a gdb lilypond call, so that you can pause the execution of lilypond and give Frescobaldi time to do whatever it might do -- and then continue lilypond from the debugger?
Have you tried changing the Frescobaldi options for displaying the pdf to get to a minimal Frescobaldi run that doesn't do much but generate the pdf? This sounds like a truly bizarre bug.

It's only with Frescobaldi. Command line compilation is fine. It's only dynamic markings, which is puzzling - whatever is going on? Running sync of course I tried, thinking the same as you. but to no effect. Once the dynamics appear, then they continue to appear. A mystery of the cosmos. Perhaps dynamic markings have become shy or recalcitrant. It's difficult to know how to debug this. Same behaviour in printing Debian 9.6 and Ubuntu 18.10.
