Because the g is flat according to the key and you want a g sharp.
First the flat is canceled with the natural and then the note is raised
with the sharp.  This is standard typesetting rules AFAIK.

To avoid that use
  \set Staff.extraNatural = ##f

This is explained in the doc, NR 1.1.1 Writing pitches > Accidentals
Snippet "Preventing extra naturals from being automatically added"
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/writing-pitches.html#accidentals
