My next naive attempt was to try to positively indicate where the melisma should end:

Music = \relative c'' { c4 d e f    c d e f    r d e f    c d e f }
Lyrics = \lyricmode { do re mi fa __ _ _ _ _  " "
               \repeat unfold 2 { \skip 1 } sol la ti do }

But that didn't work either.

What did work was to change the single blank to two blanks:

Lyrics = \lyricmode { do re mi fa __ _ _ _ _  "  "
               \repeat unfold 2 { \skip 1 } sol la ti do }
No blanks ("") work also; I’d recommend that. Another hint: You don’t need

        \repeat unfold 2 { \skip 1 }

if you just can write

        _ _

;) So here’s what I would do:

        Lyrics = \lyricmode {
          do re mi fa __ _ _ _ _ "" _ _ sol la ti do
        }

I think that there’s no more “correct” way because it seems like addlyrics is made for “every note is sung”.
