It works. associatedVoice does not change the timing but associates the
syllables with note columns and aligns with them.

Well, that is a bit of a red herring. Without an explicit duration to
the syllables, they take the duration of the last preceding note. In
your example above, that is the 1 from s1 . Remove the s1 , and it is
the (implied) 4 from the preceding b4 . If you write the first syllable
as la4 , the results will depend a lot less on the s1 being present or
not.

\lyricsto changes the timing of the lyric syllables to match the timing
of the associated Voice. Completely different scenario.
