The exact error message that I got was:

error: syntax error, unexpected LYRICS_STRING
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "voice" { \footnote #'(1 . 1) "footnote" 
                                                                 Lyric }

Changing Lyric to \markup "Lyric" gets me:

error: syntax error, unexpected LYRIC_MARKUP
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "voice" { \footnote #'(1 . 1) "footnote" 
                                                                 \markup 
"Lyric" }
