Actually I may have mis-spoke, so to speak.
in this specific example this is a \markup rather than a \lyric* and I would expect a 'symbol' or whatever the correct general term is, to do exactly this when using markups (either _ or ^) . It just so happens that in this case these symbols are letters that spell words, and these words mean something together so we (as humans) look at them differently than say we would a hairpin or fingering references or some other 'glyph' type character.
The thread seemed to be about lyrics rather than \markup chars.

I'd prefer the term "bug in scrutiny" to "expected behavior" in this
case...
