I hope you have noticed that the example you give below contains a
syntax error
so that LilyPond will not produce any output. The error message printed
out by
LilyPond should be fairly clear about the problem.
Maybe the PDF file you looked at was left over from some earlier version
of your
input file?
If I just add a space between "The" and "}", the example compiles
without problem
and gives you an extender line until the end of the tied over e.

Well, the line worked perfectly until I put Line 2 in. Now I am back
where I
was. There were a couple of instances of two spaces where there
should have
been 1, but I corrected those.
I installed the latest version of Lilypond, but it made no difference.
I can't create a self-contained extract, but here is Mats' file and its
continuation:
\version "2.10.0"
\relative c'{\time 3/4 a d, b' | a2 d,4 | e2. ~ | e |fis | fis2
fis4 |
gis!2 a4 | b2 d4 |}
\addlyrics
{Let it be -- gin with me __ Let there be peace on earth, The}
When it prints out, the melisma is ignored, and there is a single
underscore
after "me".
