Whoops.  May have spoken too soon as I found another complication.  When there 
are multiple verses (each of which has this engraver attached) then a word 
boundary in any of the verses inserts the bar (and allows line breaking), 
possibly splitting multi-syllable words in other verses.  I can live with it 
(possibly by setting one lyrics as the “controlling” context and leaving the 
engraver out of the others), but  is there a way to make things so that the 
various Lyrics contexts talk to each other and only insert the bar if there’s a 
word boundary in all contexts?

In the following example, the fourth, fifth, and sixth lines have the 
multi-syllable word in the second lyrics split.
