The voices 1 and 2 are temporary; they are destroyed after the <<c\\d>> chord
and resurrected later. The \lyricsto command stops processing when the
associated voice dies.

Therefore, you need to keep the voice alive. This can be done using something
like
<<
 \context Voice="foo" { ... }
 \context Voice="1" { s1*2 }
 \context Voice="2" { s1*2 }
>>

this will keep the voices 1 and 2 alive.

(IMHO this should be fixed automatically someday; it is however not on anyone's
todo)
