Actually, NoteColumn contains all noteheads (including suspended
ones), so aligning to NoteColumn is the same as aligning to stem (in
case of chords with seconds).

With my patch that you are reviewing? Trivial - it's already there ;-)
While I think that it's better to always align lyrics to the "main
notehead", I knew that some people woul prefer to do this otherwise,
so the patch allows to choose how to align LyricTexts (and
DynamicTexts):
\markup "Aligned on main notehead (default):"
\new Staff {
<g' f'>2~ q
<e'' d''>2~ q
<g' f'>1
}
\addlyrics { la __ la __ la }
\markup "Aligned on whole notecolumn:"
\new Staff {
<g' f'>2~ q
<e'' d''>2~ q
<g' f'>1
}
\addlyrics {
\override LyricText.X-align-on-main-noteheads = ##f
la __ la __ la
}
Tadaaaaa!! (see the output here:
https://lilypond.googlecode.com/issues/attachment?aid=22450016000&name=2245-example-for-mark.png&token=ABZ6GAd_97MyGubnBUDOhPTmY_JHF76TaQ%3A1404282296494&inline=1)
And the alignment will be consistent regardless of input order -
either aligned on main notehead, or on the whole notecolumn, depending
on property X-align-on-main-noteheads.
As i didn't know that this problem affects LyricExtenders, this
version of my patch isn't changing their behaviour at all. I'll look
into the code and try to make them consistent as well.
How do you like this? ;-)

It was already there before, but i'll remove it in the next patchset.
best,
