No it doesn't.  I don't understand why you would make unsubstantiated
claims like that.  The error message is just the same when omitting
\midi {} from the file.  \new Staff is followed by _one_ music
expression.  Typically it would be several expressions compounded by {
... }.  As you have written it, the staff is finished after \clef bass,
and LilyPond has no clue where to put the \transpose that does not make
sense in that position.
