Is it because NullVoice is has now been moved in terms of its context
'position' (if that is the right word)?

Yes. But we can revert that.

The commit just before that one fixed the bugs in NullVoice; then the commit 
you found moved NullVoice to Score so I wouldn't need the part of the bug-fix 
with ugly code.  I was thinking there might be more unwanted interactions 
between NullVoice and the Staff waiting to be found.

Though, I'm not sure it's a bug. I doubt it make much sense to add an
engraver like the solfege-engraver to NullVoice.
I've the feeling it negates the sense of NullVoice.

The description is a place to put notes so you can attach lyrics, without 
printing the notes,

The bug-report in this thread was about an unforeseen use that stopped working:
in addition to Lyrics, use NullVoice to attach numbers giving the pitches.

Easier to add a bug than not
