Yes, \set associatedVoice is handy sometimes, good idea :-).

That's really interesting - I must have missed that change. To wit:

\version "2.19"

\new Staff <<
  \relative { c''4 b c2 } \\
  \relative { g'2 e4 c4 } \\
>> \addlyrics { One two three four. }

Amazing. Thanks!

And another clarification: \addlyrics \with { ... } is also a 
construction that needs current Lilypond. 2.18.2 knows \addlyrics but 
doesn't accept context modification by \with. Try compiling

\version "2.18.2"

\new Staff \relative { c'4 d e2 }
\addlyrics { I will work. }

\new Staff \relative { c'4 d e2 }
\addlyrics \with { \override LyricText.font-size = 5 }
{ Will I work? }

with 2.18.2 and 2.20.

Ah, if I understand correctly, that is the drawback of the \new Staff { 
... } \addlyrics approach?

Best
