Well, the thing is that this is a problem that can probably be reproduced purely by a TeX workflow. Wouldn't it also occur when using the pdftricks package (which uses straightforward TeX/dvips/Ghostscript for creating PDF graphics to be included into PDFTeX documents)? The TeX Gyre fonts are sponsored by TeX user groups and are developed by a Polish programmer team heavily involved with the Polish TeX user group, and in Poland PDFTeX is likely by far the most commonly used TeX variant.

So if one can construct a use case done purely in the (mainstream) TeX world where this problem shows up, there is a significant chance that they'll change the design and/or kick the PDFTeX developers enough that they fix the problem on their side.

With some hands-on example working (or rather failing) on every TeX system without having to install LilyPond or anything else, I'd be able to ask Bogusław take a look and suggest a good path.

It may be that until this is fixed, XeTeX might be a usable workaround. It is embarrassing just how much work the use of UTF-8 examples in our documentation is actually turning out to be for you.

Add XeTeX for document building

Prefer XeTeX than pdfTeX.
