It's the partcombiner who does not wait for the end of the first voice
before switching its mode, thus interrupting the beaming.  Not related
to the Devnull stuff, but I was too lazy to cook up a better working
example as the fault is not related to this topic.

It's more like

3) aligning lyrics to non-existing note columns.

LilyPond does not align reasonably to non-existing note columns anyway.
One could try fudging in pseudo_engravers that create note-busy events,
but you'll still have the problem that you _either_ need to reserve
space (defeating the "without altering spacing" purpose) _or_ don't get
reasonable positioning.
