Hi Rutger,
> What setting can I apply to get correct horizontal spacing in the second case?
One possibility:
\new GrandStaff \with {
\consists Keep_alive_together_engraver
\override LyricText.extra-spacing-width = #empty-interval
} <<
Not a big fan of this whole approach, though…

Use extra-spacing-height and -width (and related properties and macros) to
force horizontal shifting — that will correct the stacking problem.
Then you’ll be using TextSpanners (as you should be) rather than [overloading]
Lyrics.
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
