thank you for your response and basically confirming the observed behaviour.

I had discovered that placing \set associatedVoice "one syllable too early" 
does create the desired result and always assumed that is a bug.

To my eyes it certainly is counter intuitive. Maybe someone knowing the 
rationale behind it could explain the reason?!
Don't know if it is documented but IMO the behaviour should be changed if at 
all possible.

Kind regards,
Michael
