I remember looking at this a while ago.  If I recall correctly it's too
early for context information to be available to the syntax constructor -
if you look in ly-syntax-constructors.scm there's a helper function which
is supposed to find the first existing voice context so the constructor for
\addlyrics doesn't have to create one from scratch.  There's a comment
there noting it doesn't work (it says `rarely works' but I'm pretty sure it
never does).

Cheers,
Neil
