Ah, okay. =)
I was just noting (for the OP) that a whole bunch of my scores with lyrics "stopped working" early in the 2.19s, and adding \new Voice before the << >> solved every single one of the issues.
Thanks,
Kieren.

Thanks Kieran!
After I sent the original message I was halfway into stripping my score to something more minimal, but life got in the way. I'm fussy about lyrics and have a lot of stuff in the \layout \Lyrics section I thought might have something to do with it. But Kieran’s memory came up with the goods.
I do normally use \addlyrics because as someone else mentioned, life is too short to put vocal polyphony on to one line. It's a bit strange that the 2.19 \addlyrics sees the implied voice enough to put the lyrics on but not enough to respect melismas. \addlyrics has a small section in the 2.19 manual and seems to imply \new Voice is unnecessary:
