This is an unintended use of the part-combiner. Since Voices are
switched in the part-combined stave, the lyrics lines should also
switch their associatedVoice.

If you're not afraid of hacking C++, then you could try to modify the
Part_combine_iterator to set the names of the currently active Voices
in a property (say currentlyActiveVoices), and change
new-lyric-combine-iterator to have an option to look at the
currentlyActiveVoices of property of the Staff context, and switch the
value of associatedVoiceContext accordingly.
