Yes. lilypond uses a simplistic approach by simply including the whole font needed for a glyph. In this particular case it apparently happens that a large CJK or Unicode font is embedded. As you have found out, creating a PDF solves this. If you really want a PS file, use acroread or something like this to convert it back.
