For version 2.18 it could be either. You are correct that the documentation 
does indeed state staff spaces (not half-staff spaces)

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/internals-big-page.html

In version 2.19.x (at least where 'x' is the latest unstable) however the
output *is* in full staff spaces.

See the png file attached to this email that shows this from my own test.

We are no longer pushing any more fixes/changes into 2.18.x at this time. All 
development is focused on the later code base - which will eventually become 
2.20.

Thank you for your time.

Regards

James
