Most likely so. I suspect the fix for issue 2010 
<http://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/2010/> or something in 
that context.

It’s relevant that \addlyrics has never been working reliably with any 
but the _most_ simple situations. So you were on shifting ground anyway. 
And if you start creating new contexts within the music expression to 
which \addlyrics is applied, it’s most certainly better to use \lyricsto 
and named contexts.
If you have further, more specific questions, feel free to post code 
examples and ask again.

Yours, Simon
