All I can say at this point is that this reminds me of an issue we had
earlier which is due to a version mismatch of GhostScript. This can
also be an issue when choosing a LilyPond installation from
Frescobaldi.

When you install LilyPond from the download on lilypond.org it will
create a wrapper script that properly sets the environment for the
LilyPond version to be used.
In Frescobaldi, when you choose a LilyPond binary this is not the case,
and there can be mismatches when LilyPond expects specific versions of
a library but the operating system defaults to another. (I thought we
had fixed that issue but just recently I'm experiencing it again, with
2.20).

What I mean is that lyp may also run into that trap not to properly set
up the invocation for LilyPond, which can lead to the problem you
experience when the system's default Ghostscript version doesn't matcht
the one LilyPond expects.

I suggest you raise this as an issue on the lyp Github tracker, maybe
including the paragraphs above as a hint to a possible reason.
