This looks to me like correct behaviour.  You've created extra Lyrics 
contexts, and Lilypond stacks them one above the other.  This is as 
illustrated in the NR.  If I was doing what you're showing, I would use 
\skip:

<<
 \new Staff {
   \new Voice = "singleVoice" {
     \relative c'' {
       a1
       \repeat volta 2 { b }
       a1
       \repeat volta 2 { b }
 } } }
 \new Lyrics \lyricsto "singleVoice" {
     one
     <<
       { one one one }
       \new Lyrics { \set associatedVoice = "singleVoice" two \skip 1 two }
     >>
 }
