I'm afraid I can't find any doc on that, that should be fixed.  The
reason is probably that it works just like other simultaneous staffs:

    \score{
      <
        \context Staff \notes\relative c'' {
          c4 c8 c c
          c c c c4
        }
        \context Lyrics \lyrics {
           hi4 _8 _ there
           hi _8*2 there
        }
      >  
    }

But maybe addlyrics could also work for you:

    \score{
      \addlyrics
        \context Staff \notes\relative c'' {
          c c c c
          c c c c
        }
        \context Lyrics \lyrics {
           hi _ _ there
           hi \repeat "unfold" 2 { " " } there
        }
    }

Greetings,
Jan.
