the main problem with your input is, that you have overfull measures. {
c d e f2 } are 5/4 in a 4/4 measure. That means, Lilypond draws and
starts this f2 in the first measure, but it is still played in the
second. Therefore, the breathing mark is placed where the f2 is over.
How can you breathe, when the note is still sung? Are you sure, that
these note durations are intended?
Yes, I know that these are overfull measures; actually most measure bars
are not even drawn (I have \context { \Score defaultBarType = "empty" },
with a few \bar "|" here and there). These are indeed the intended
durations; in the kind of (liturgical) music I want to typeset the exact
rythms are not always respected.
I found an alternative way of achieving the same effect, which has the
advantage that it is not necessary to repeat the indications for each
voice:
... \time 5/4 c d e f2 \breathe \bar "" \time 4/4 ...
If you want to stick to traditional notation practice, such overfull
measures should not occur. Instead, you would write:
{ c d e f ~ f }
If you want this to be done automatically, you can have a look here:

Thank you for the pointer, but alas it is not what I want to do...
