See <URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3797> which
will, once completed, fix this problem. Until then: explicit contexts.
Kieren's solution does not actually work. If you write, say,
\relative { c' \myoctavate { d e f } }
it gets turned into
\relative { c'
\context Bottom << { d e f } \transpose c c' \relative { d e f } >> }
and then into { c' \context Bottom << { d' e' f' } { d' e' f' } >> }
since the first $music goes up one octave by virtue of being relative to
the first c', and the second $music goes up one octave by being
transposed.
