If it confused you, then it isn't too minor. However, I'm not familiar
with this issue, or vocal stuff at all. Please look at chapter 7 and
figure out exactly where this material should be placed. In addition,
please tell me exactly what text I should insert.

Thanks, that works and makes sense. I almost always use \lyricsto anyway.
This isn't a bug, then, I suppose; but it is unexpected behaviour and
potentially confusing - it confused me, anyway. Is it worth including in
the documentation or is it too minor?

What happens is that the \override command isn't seen until the place
of the first syllable, which is too late if you start
with a rest. If you use \lyricsto instead of \addlyrics (which is the
only reasonable method in all but the most simple scores
anyway), you can do
\version "2.8.0"
\score
It's pretty obscure but I found it eventually...
Version 2.8.0 on Windows XP
If there is a rest at the start of a staff then vertical spacing of lyrics
does not work.
For example, in this piece the lyrics are spaced away from the staff:
\version "2.8.0"
\score { \context Voice = mv { a'4 b' c''
