It was not my intention to couple them, I didn't use lyricsto.
I added the staff there just to show what kind of musical event I referred to. 
The same problem does however also occur with lyricsto:

\version "2.1.17"
\score {<<
  \new Staff \context Voice=A \notes \relative c' {c4( d16 e d b c2)^
\fermata }
  \lyricsto A \new LyricsVoice \lyrics { bye __ }
>>}

and also without a staff:

\score {\new LyricsVoice \lyrics { bye1 __ }}

& from the error messages, I guess the actual problem is that the extender is 
represented in such a way that the end of its span is defined to be right 
before the beginning of the next note, which then requires that this next 
note exists.
