Of course not, since \RemoveEmptyStaffContext only redefines what
happens to an ordinary Staff, not to a ChoirStaff or whatever.
The solution is to do the same redefinition of the ChoirStaff as
the \RemoveEmptyStaffContext does to the Staff context. See my
recent email on the same problem for RhythmicStaffContext (Graham
did some clarifications in the manual too).

Seems more like a philosophical question on if the lyrics should
be viewed as a part of the ChoirStaff or not, but I see your point.
