Mats et al,
Sorry, but this doesn't work on my Lilypond (2.10.0) The LyricExtender
is still missing when the lyrics are printed above the staff, and is
present when I print them below.
I suggest this is a bug, but would like to make sure before forwarding
it to bug-lilypond.
Best,
Vivian.

In your example, you had forgotten to name the Voice context. Just
replace the
first line by
Voice = \new Voice = notes { c4 d8 d e4~ e }
and it seems to work as desired.
Another approach is to use the alignAboveContext property:
\score {
<<
\new Staff = myStave \relative c'{
\Voice
}
\new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext = myStave } { \set associatedVoice
= "notes" \Words } % above
\new Lyrics { \set associatedVoice = "notes" \Words } % below
>>
}
Finally, I noticed that you didn't use the support for hyphens in
lyrics. Try
Words = \lyricmode { This4 does8 -- n't work4 __ " "}
to get a nicer result.
