The attached patch should solve your problem. But it changes the c++ sources 
and requires
recompilation.

Probably it will not be accepted as it is possible to reimplement a 
Lyric_extender::print()
with the desired changes in scheme and to include it in any lilypond source 
that needs it ;-)

You don't want extenders and hyphens at the same time ...
