This is not expected behavior.  I'm not sure yet why it's working that way.
I suspect it's because the fretboards are being vertically centered, and now
(unlike in previous versions) the extent of the fretboards is strictly
correct.  It's a case where doing things right caused an unintended side
effect.

Please file a bug report on bug-lilypond, as I won't be able to get to this
for a while; perhaps two or three weeks.

Thanks,
