The warning is harmless. In the latest development versions 
(1.5.26- ), the implementation of volta brackets has been 
corrected so they are only typeset for the top stave, so
you have a good reason to look forward to next stable series, 
1.6.

I don't think I said. Anyway, the bug still exists also in 1.5.28, 
try for example the following modified version of 
input/test/lyric-extender.ly:

\score{
  <
    \context Staff \notes { c () c () c c | 
      c () c () c c }
    \context Lyrics \lyrics { bla __ alb xxx yyy ___ 
      bla alb xxx __ yyy }

}
