Have you tried to add the name of the corresponding staff to the lyrics?

  \addlyrics
         \context Staff = alto {
         \property Staff.automaticMelismata = ##t
         \property Staff.noAutoBeaming= ##t
         \altoMel
  } % alto 
  \context Lyrics = alto \altoLyr

It worked for me, but was the result of "try'n'error".

Best regards
Thomas
