I have a slow internet connection at home, so it takes a while to
upgrade my libc6 (which is my next attempt to get it working).
Anyway, the bug is not in lilypond.

Absolutely. What I haven't figured out is the relationthips between
1. Contexts as a global data structure, containing engravers etc.
2. \FooContext identifiers used in \translator blocks
3. \name, which Mats mentioned. I didn't know about this.
4. The context "instances" used while engraving.
5. The \context Identifiers used in the scores.
My understanding is that when lilypond created context instances (4)
while processing a score it uses the \context information (5) to find
an appropriate context definition (1). But how it does this, I don't
know.
