Definitely a bug, and the workaround isn't easy to use.  Example:

<<
  \new Lyrics = above \with {
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #DOWN } s1
  \new Staff {
    \new Voice = "main" 
    \relative c'' {
      a1 
      <<
        \new Voice = "descanta"
          << { \hideNotes c2 d c2 c \unHideNotes }
             \new Voice { \voiceOne c2 d( c1) } >>
        { \voiceTwo a2 a a a s1 }
      >>
      a1 a
    }
  }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "main" \lyricmode { 
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. }
  \context Lyrics = above \lyricsto "descanta" \lyricmode { Oo -- oo __ }
