That's (partly) because you have to tell Lily that you're doing this:
adding editorial stuff to existing notes:

Here, Lily assumes a new Voice, and can't handle these marks without
notes, there 'are' no notes in this voice.

So, try something like this:

orig=\notes \relative c'' {
        d4 e d4. c8| c\breve
}

editorial=\notes {
        \time 4/4; s4--( s4-. )s4.\trill  s8 | s1 ~ | s1
}

\score {
        \context Staff <
        \context Thread=i \orig
        \context Thread=i \editorial
        >
}

(Still, you'll see weird slur bugs with 1.3.x)
