My solution to this sort of thing is to make sure that only notes that 
have lyrics assigned are in the voice in question when using \addlyrics 
or \lyricsto.  The two "extra" notes would be put into their own voice 
so nothing tries to bind to them.

%%%%
\version "2.18.2"
A = \relative g' { g2 g( g g) << { s2 s } \\ { \oneVoice g2 g } >> g g }
Txt = \lyricmode { Ah Ah __ Ah Ah }
\score { \A \addlyrics { \Txt } \layout {} }
%%%%
