You're right, one expects something different at first, but then I
remembered the "Temporary polyphonic passages" section under
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Multiple-voices#Single_002dstaff-polyphony

here says something interesting: "Here, the first expression within a
temporary polyphonic passage is placed into the Voice context which
was in use immediately before the polyphonic passage, and that same
Voice context continues after the temporary section. Other expressions
within the angle brackets are assigned to distinct temporary voices.
This allows lyrics to be assigned to one continuing voice before,
during and after a polyphonic section"

I think this applies well to your examples, not a polyphonic
situation, but still one in which a new voice context is created and
given an internal name, in order of availability. The new Voice
without any preceding notes is the same before, during and after; the
new Voice with a preceding note is a truly new context, different from
the one which that note was in. Does it have any sense?
