Well spotted. This simply has the incorrect argument to \partial. There
should be 8 quavers before the *first* barline, not 5, so try this:

<score sound="1">
\relative c' {
  \clef treble
  \key ees \major
  \time 12/8
  \tempo "Tempo molto moderato"
  \partial 8*8
  bes4~\p\<( bes2.~ |
  bes4 ees8 f) bes4-- g-- ees8 f4.\fermata
}
</score>

(This is not a lilypond bug, perhaps the user list would be better next time.)
