Strangely enough, I ran into a related problem last night.  But I
eventually remembered that I had encountered the same thing over a year
ago, with an exchange and advice on the list.  See
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2017-01/msg00120.html
if you are interested.

set-global-staff-size seems to be very buggy, and the newer magnify-
staff (see Notation Ref. section 4.2.2) is recommended.  You might find
that this makes things easier.
