Ehrm, I used a slightly different snippet:

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.60"

sop = {
  a'4 4 4 4 \break
  a'4 4 2 \break
  a'4 4 4 4
}
\addQuote #"sop" \sop

sopL = \lyricmode {
  These are quoted words.
  These are not.
  Quote these a -- gain.
}
\addQuote #"sopL" \sopL



alto = {
  \quoteDuring #"sop" s1
  f'4 4 2
  \quoteDuring #"sop" s1
}

altoL = \lyricmode {
  \quoteDuring #"sopL" \skip 1
  Not these ones.
  \quoteDuring #"sopL" \skip 1
}

mus =
<<
  \new Staff \new Voice = "s" \sop
  \addlyrics \sopL
  \new Staff \new Voice = "a" \alto
  \addlyrics \altoL
>>

sc = \score { \mus }

%% to get some more detailed info about the quotes:
%#(display-scheme-music (ly:score-music sc))

%\void \displayMusic \sopL

\mus
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS
