So what do people think ? Is the side-effect on lyrics good or bad?
 or not worth caring about ?

If there is nothing sticking out of the staff on the lyrics side, then the  
bar-lines are spaced to make room for the lyrics.  If a note or something  
sticks out, the bar-lines can slide past the lyric syllables, as they did  
in 2.12.3.

My second choice for this issue would be a rule to keep clear the space  
between the ledger lines and the staff (plus a tiny protrusion of the  
bar-lines' and time-sigs' space reservation).  That would have different  
side effects, for example, when a neighbor's accidental could fit in that  
space.
