Since you have problems with the bleeding edge development version,
I recommend to use the mailing list lilypond-devel instead or
bug-lilypond if you think you have encountered a bug.
The lilypond-user list should (at least in my opinion) be primarily
devoted to issues on the stable LilyPond versions and to general
questions on the program.


Anyway, your problem seems to be that your ghostscript cannot handle
that particular .eps file coming from LilyPond+LaTeX+dvips.
It might be worth checking if it's a known problem with that particular
ghostcript version. I just tried the same commands on the same file
over here and it works fine with GNU Ghostscript 7.05.
