Mmm, My Bad. Entschuldigung. You do explicitly create two voices.
What I meant was voices created in the score block instead of creating  
a new voice inside another voice.

I've got no idea if that's a bug or not, but the way I work around it  
is by having two \context Voice statements in my \score block. One for  
the unbeamed notes and one for the beamed notes. This allows me to  
attach the lyrics with \lyricsto o the voice with the unbeamed notes,  
just like the examples in the NR 2.1.3 "Aligning lyrics to a melody".
