This is beyond my understanding.  I guess the engraver would need to live in
the StaffGroup context, so it could get events from both the Voice and the
Lyrics.

I've posted my answer to lilypond-devel, as well as to -user, because the
creation of new engravers is probably a -devel topic (although, with the new
Scheme engravers, I guess it can become a -user topic.

Thanks,
