Conversion to 2.17.13 (what I have here) leaves this unchanged. The
error message is a different one, though. I can make the above work
using \markup "Lyric" instead of Lyric. As you don't post the exact
error message corresponding to your source file, I have no idea whether
the error is triggered at the same point.
At one point of time, I plan distinguishing Lyric and "Lyric" in
function arguments, and then you'll get along without the disconcerting
disambiguator "\markup". But that's somewhat unfinished yet.
