Where two syllables are set to the same note, is there a way to apply
formatting to the second?  I hope I've not missed something obvious in
the NR or the Snippets Repository.

In the following example, "eleison" is editorial and should be
italicised.  The upper line of lyrics has the correct spacing but not
the desired italics:

\version "2.19.82"

ital = \override LyricText.font-shape = #'italic
italx = \revert LyricText.font-shape

{ c'1 c' d' c' }
\addlyrics { ky -- rie_e -- lei -- son }
\addlyrics { ky -- rie_ \ital e -- lei -- son \italx }

You could manually construct the syllable with custom markup:

%%%%
\version "2.19.82"

ital = \override LyricText.font-shape = #'italic
italx = \revert LyricText.font-shape

{ c'1 c' d' c' }
\addlyrics { ky -- rie_e -- lei -- son }
% \addlyrics { ky -- rie_ \ital e -- lei -- son \italx }
\addlyrics { ky -- \markup { rie \italic e } -- \ital lei -- son \italx }
%%%%
