Graham's mentioned it in the other thread, but there's a bug tracker
issue for this here:

http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=746

There's a script for beautifying C++ code here:
scripts/auxiliar/fixcc.py, but it appears to be a bit out of date
(certainly when I tested it earlier this year, it didn't match the
average formatting we have currently).
