In your case Lilypond is faced with two conflicting constraints:
- "graph paper" spacing
- linelength
I guess that linelength takes precedence as that's what most people
would want lilypond to do, namely compress stuff a bit such that it fits
the line.

I guess that's it and in most of my usecases the desired behaviour. Your
mileage may of course vary.

AFAIUI it is
\repeat percent 4 { \startNewSpacingSectionWithStrictTime \first
\leaveStrictTime }
and that is fundamentally different from
\startNewSpacingSectionWithStrictTime \repeat percent 4 { \first }
\leaveStrictTime
or that is my understanding, but I may be wrong.
