lyrics from different staves are no longer aligned

Well I am not a famous name, but I expect LilyPond to cooperate if I  
politely ask her to let the baselines of the lyrics come together, and  
version 2.13.38 does not cooperate :
\layout {\context
  \override VerticalAxisGroup #'non-affinity-spacing #'minimum-distance = #0
}}

I can get the requested behavior, by putting at least as much padding on  
the 'affinity' side as there is on the 'non-affinity' side :
\layout { \context {
  \ChoirStaff \override StaffGrouper #'between-staff-spacing #'space = #16
  } \context {
  \Lyrics
  \override VerticalAxisGroup #'non-affinity-spacing = #'((space . 8)  
(padding . 1.0))
  \override VerticalAxisGroup #'inter-staff-spacing = #'((space . 8)  
(padding . 1.0))
}}
I inserted more space to create a situation where I think padding *should*  
have no effect.  LilyPond seems confused in how she responds to changes in  
these two paddings.

(We started discussing how to get truly centered lyrics, with the LilyPond  
we have, at
