Thanks Kieran!

After I sent the original message I was halfway into stripping my score to
something more minimal, but life got in the way. I'm fussy about lyrics and
have a lot of stuff in the \layout \Lyrics section I thought might have
something to do with it. But Kieran’s memory came up with the goods.

I do normally use \addlyrics because as someone else mentioned, life is too
short to put vocal polyphony on to one line. It's a bit strange that the
2.19 \addlyrics sees the implied voice enough to put the lyrics on but not
enough to respect melismas. \addlyrics has a small section in the 2.19
manual and seems to imply \new Voice is unnecessary:
