The contents of a graphviz-readable file should be dumped to the console (or a 
log file?). If you save lilypond's output (from "digraph G" to the end) to a 
file named test.dot and run
$ dot -Tps test.dot -o test.ps
(or using graphviz somehow from the gui -- I don't know how, sorry) then you 
should get a .ps file that shows internal interactions between grobs.

Since this output is mainly used for internal debugging, I'm not exactly sure 
what counts as a regression. I suppose as long as the output works with 
graphviz to correctly render a graph, it counts as working. I've just checked 
that it works for me with graphviz version 2.12; if it doesn't work with your 
version, I'll add a comment to that effect in the file.
