If you put \addlyrics to a staff, how can you expect one voice in the
staff to be relevant for the lyrics and another not?  LilyPond did not
do anything sensible here.  Try

\score {
  \new Staff { \key a \minor
               \relative c'' {
                 a1   \new Voice { c2 d2 } e1
               }
               \addlyrics { foo bar }
             }
}

What is the relevant section of documentation that would have promised
your version to work?
