\set stanza may be used with arbitrary markup – it seems like abuse, but there’s no problem with that. I corrected the first two lines in the example above like this.
As a subsidiary question: Verses 4 & 5 of this song are set beneath the score as markup columns. I'd like to do something similar in those verses also.
Well, no problem: just use the markup commands you already used inside lyrics inside markup.

Thanks to both Simon and Phil many of the pieces of the jigsaw are coming together. I'll post a consolidated solution after some more thought...
I'm still not quite happy about the "dim." in \secondverse as it looks slightly heavy, but it is well differentiated from the underlay and will suffice for this performing edition. The extra column for dynamics in the final verse looks OK to me.
This all took quite some figuring out, so I hope the result is helpful to others.
Here's what I ended up using:
\version "2.19.5"
breath = \markup \musicglyph #"scripts.tickmark"
no_breath = \markup \musicglyph #"ties.lyric.default"
...
% Example of underlay:
secondverse = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = \markup { \bold 2. \dynamic mf }
Re -- mem -- ber me, a -- \markup { \concat { "lace," \breath}}
And lat all rig -- our \markup { \concat { "pass" \breath}}
That I may prove in you some \markup { \concat { "love" \no_breath }}
To my joy and so -- \markup { \concat { "lace" \breath}}
True love to move I most be -- \markup { \concat { "hove" \breath}}
\markup { \concat { \bold \italic "dim. " "Re"} } -- mem -- ber me, a -- lace.
}
\score {
...
}
\markup { % The two remaining verses printed below the score:
\fill-line {
\hspace #0.1 % moves the column off the left margin;
% can be removed if space on the page is tight
\column {
\line {
\right-column {
\line { \bold 4. \dynamic f }
}
\hspace #0.1
\column {
\concat {"Remember me, deir hart" \no_breath}
\concat {"That of pains hes my part." \breath}
\concat {"Your words unkind sinks in my mind," \no_breath}
\concat {"And dois increase my smart;" \breath}
\concat {"Yet shall ye find me true and kind!" \breath}
"Remember me, deir hart."
}
}
}
\hspace #0.1 % adds horizontal spacing between columns;
\column {
\line { \right-column {
\line { \bold 5. \dynamic mp }
\line {" "}
\line {" "}
\line {" "}
\line {" "}

\concat {"Hart, mind, body and all" \breath}
\concat {"Ne'er to repent, bot stand content."\breath}
