Lyric verse naming

I wish to name lyric lines for multi-verse vocal music as 1. 2. 3. etc., and
am using the following simple command sequence:

\score{
             \notes <

             \addlyrics
             \context Staff="1"
             {
              \voicedefault
              \property Staff.instrument = #'("S 1  ")
              \voiceB
              }

            \context Lyrics="1"
           <
              \context LyricsVoice = "Sop1Verse1" {
              \property LyricsVoice . stanza = "1."
              { \wordsBVA }
              }

             \context LyricsVoice = "Sop1Verse2" {
             \property LyricsVoice . stanza = "2."
             { \wordsBVB }
             }
          >

etc.

This works perfectly in most cases, but not when a stave starts with a rest
in the first bar. That is, where one, or more, parts start singing from the
second bar onwards.

Is this a bug, or is there an additional command that I'm not aware of and
should be using, or is my command structure at fault.

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

I also use the additional command sequence:

 \paper {
              \translator{
              \ScoreContext StanzaNumber \override #'break-align-symbol =
#'begin-of-note }
             }

but the problem exists with or without this.

I am using Lilypond Version 1.6.5
