Dear Sister,
First thanks a lot for your MWE, this is really a huge help in
debugging, and shows a few problems that were not really spotted
(and it includes a very nice example of hyphen going too far right of
the score).
I'll answer your points with what I think the correct answers are, but
Brother Samuel may contradict me!

Right, this command shouldn't be in a custom file... but reported here:

You might be right yes... I've opened an issue for this, as spaces
should be dissociated:

That's a bug, reported on
https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/943

If there's not text underneath the bar, I don't think
interwordspacetext@bars is used, indeed, or maybe just to set the
minimum distance between the text of the preceding and following
syllable (but it's certainly used only in some extremely rare such cases).

You're right, 99% of the time, things will happen as you expect.

That's a bug too... I think it's related to point 2, but I'm not
entirely sure, we'll first fix point 2, and then we'll see if it's fixed.

It should be used in cases like g(g.g), but when the punctum mora is at
the end of a syllable, it's not used.

Well, if the <eu> block contains no bar, then
interwordspacetext@bars@euouae is not used of course.
"interwordspacetext@euouae" is the minimal space between the text of the
different syllables in your example.
Thank you!
