According to the docs, manual beaming will create melismata when 
automatic beaming is disabled.  In your larger document, do you use 
\autoBeamOff?

Consider this:

%%%%
\version "2.18.2"

\relative c' { c16[( d) e8] f4 }
\addlyrics { three words here }

\relative c' { \autoBeamOff c16[( d) e8] f4 }
\addlyrics { just two }

\relative c' {
  \set melismaBusyProperties = #'()
  \autoBeamOff c16[( d) e8] f4
}
\addlyrics { now we get four }

\relative c' {
  \set melismaBusyProperties = #'()
  \autoBeamOff c16[( d) e8] f4
}
\addlyrics { back _ to three }
%%%%
