Hi Eluze,

it's no bug, but intended behaviour.

\addlyrics creates a Voice-context for the music, but TabStaff denies Voice.
See
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-vocal-music#aligning-lyrics-to-a-melody
Scroll down to "Using \addlyrics"
And /ly/engraver-init.ly
->TabStaff

I just wrote about it in the german LilyPond-forum:

Cheers,
