I don't understand -- if you use a ChoirStaff, then bar lines aren't 
drawn where the lyrics
are printed.  Why play all the games with invisible bar lines and 
moving engravers around?

\version "2.5.17"
\score{
  \new ChoirStaff <<
    \new Staff { c'4 d' e' f' g' a' b' c'}
    \addlyrics {foo foo foo foo bar }
    \new Staff { c'4 d' e' f' g' a' b' c'}
    \addlyrics {foo foo foo foo bar }
>>
}
