I don't understand what you mean for the proposed behaviour.

Currently, I set minimum-length = 0 in all Lyric contexts so that I 
can place identical lyrics in several voices, all with extenders, but 
the extenders appear in the score only when they correspond to melismata.
In other words the extender is permitted to reduce in size to 0, which
seems pretty well what "minimum-length" means.

Will this behaviour change with your proposed patch?
