I'm not sure -- I wrote the code but I don't usually use lyrics. It was suggested to me (I can't find the email) that lyrics should stay close to the staff to which they are attached. So when lilypond stretches the systems (to better fill the page) it leaves the lyrics close to the staff above. This is described, along with the relevant overrides, in the 2.11 manual (the section on vertical spacing). If someone can suggest a better default algorithm for the placement of lyrics in stretched systems, I'd be happy to hear it (although probably not until 2.13).
