This is, indeed, a strange bug. My only guess is that LP is having a hard
time differentiating between voices since they are partially implicit and
the main lyrics are implicitly attached, too. Just a guess, though.

FYI, this bug doesn't happen in the latest unstable, but here's what you
can (should?) do to make it work "normally" with 2.18.2: move the temporary
soprano two lyrics out to the staff-level and make the soprano one voice
more explicit, like this:

<code>
\version "2.18.2"
\language "english"

\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "letter")
}

global = {
  \key d \major
  \numericTimeSignature
  \autoBeamOff
}

% soprano music here

sopranomusic = {
  \global
  \time 3/4
  <<
    {
      \voiceOne
      fs''4 fs'' fs'' |
      a'2. |
      b''4 b'' b'' |
      c'''2. |
    }
    { \new Voice
      {
        \voiceTwo
        ds''4 ds'' ds'' |
        a'2. |
        fs''4 fs'' fs'' |
        a''2. |
      }
    }
  >> \oneVoice
  c''4 g'8 c' g'
  <<
    {
      \voiceOne
      c''8 |
      b'2. |
    }
    { \new Voice = "soptwomusic"
      {
        \voiceTwo
        c''8 |
        g'4 f' e' |
      }
    }
  >> \oneVoice
  bf'2. |
  a' |
}

sopranowords = \lyricmode {
  Al -- le -- lu -- ia,
  Al -- le -- lu -- ia,
  Al -- le -- lu -- ia,
  Al -- le -- lu -- ia,
}

sopranoStaff = <<
  % make the soprano one voice explicit here
  \new Voice = "soponemusic" { \sopranomusic }

  % make the lyrics explicitly assigned
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "soponemusic" { \sopranowords }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "soptwomusic" { Al -- le -- lu -- ia }
>>

\score {
  \new ChoirStaff <<
    \sopranoStaff
  >>
  \layout {  }
  \midi {
    \tempo 4=100
  }
}
</code>

I've found that putting lyrics outside and doing explicit assignments like
this always seems to help, but like I said above, you can do exactly what
you've coded in the latest unstable and it works like you expect it to.
