Well, this bug simply doesn't seem to happen here (Ubuntu GNU/Linux). This is 
a very unusual problem for layout bugs; usually this kind of problem occurs 
across all platforms.

Can you try the following?
- It would probably be more helpful with a smaller example. Can you create a 
shorter snippet, which produces a similar error (it's enough if the extenders 
are only slightly incorrect, as long as they clearly _are_ incorrect). 
Ideally, this should be something like 2 bars with 2 notes in each.
- Try adding a \layout{raggedright=##t} before the score.
- Can you check if the .ps file also looks incorrect? (this would rule out 
problems with ghostscript)
- Can you try using \lyricsto instead of \addlyrics? Does that help?
