I don't think you should consider either of these as an oddity.
The draft standard (1.7.6) lists them as commands that should be
parsed:
$ Within the lyrics, the following words should be separated by one or more
$ blank spaces and to correctly align them the following symbols may be used:
$
$ - break between syllables within a word
$ | advance to next bar
$ _ (underscore) last syllable is to be held for an extra note
$ * one note is skipped (i.e. * is equivalent to a blank syllable)
$ ~ appears as a space but connects syllables each side into one
$ \- appears as - sign in output.
$ \ continuation character; next w: field is part of the same line
