Not even as

  \alternative {
    \new Lyrics { \stanzaI }
    \new Lyrics { \stanzaII }
  }

to be treated as simultaneous during engraving but unfolded before performing?

Repeats result in sequential music, regardless of whether they are volta, 
unfold, or tremolo, right?

There are no repeats named by that structure that I am aware of in the music 
literature that create simultaneous music.

If we want to do something like this I think we should call it a lyricrepeat, 
or a stanzarepeat.

But the most common stanza repeat stuctire in my experience is a verse-chorus 
structure:

\stanzarepeat \stanzas { \new lyrics {\stanza1}{\stanza2}{\stanza3}} {\chorus}
