This workaround looks fine to me.  I can't think of any sensible reason
for wanting lyrics associated with the up staff and the down staff to
be aligned to the same baseline unless they _never_ both occur at the
same time.  This is relatively rare.  The usual situation, in which up
and down lyrics do occur at the same time, is to have differing baselines
so the lyrics are clearly separated.  It would be wrong to make
'padding = 0 the default just to reproduce the 2.12 behaviour.  2.13 is
an improvement in this regard.
