I think you understood it correctly, but I guess what is happening here is
that when you switch to the previous voice LilyPond will just align the
next syllable to the next note in voice you switched to, ignoring the
duration of the previous syllable.
Personally I tend to use explicit durations (no \lyricsto) in complex cases
like this, but a workaround would be simply:
verseIII = \lyricmode {
Gen -- tle \set associatedVoice = "v3" and strong
\set associatedVoice = "mel"
one, "" % add an empty syllable here
Lord of our way.
}
