This looks like a regression to me.  With 2.12 I can use :

between-system-space = 5 \cm

to space out the systems as Mike is trying to do here.  If I do that, then 
the lyrics stay well-spaced to the stave.  It looks as if we've lost the 
ability to space systems out with lyrics on top the stave without the lyrics 
being wrongly positioned.  Anyone disagree?
