Now taking a second look, I don't think it's a bug, only a limitation of the lyrics engraving procedure: it doesn't take notes into acount, only resolves lyrics overlapping (when two syllables would overlap.) You should change the alignment of the syllable a bit (not to the left, but like 0.3

Indeed, my problem is completely different than automatic insertion of extenders. Indeed, I want Lilypond that it adds some "padding" automatically to the notehead whenever there is long syllable under it, so that the "physical" extent of the printed letters of that syllable does not overlap with

After reading some more threads about the lyrics alignment, I have got the impression, that the problem of a syllable overlapping with the last note(s) of the preceding melisma could be solved by adding an extender to the melismatic syllable. The extender should last up to low c of the last bar of
