I'm wondering if you couldn't avoid this by adding bar lines to the lyrics context and making them invisible. This _might_ make the lyrics dodge them automatically (though I make no guarantees). In practice, I've just left multiple syllable lyrics centered at the end of a phrase (not the beginning), and I think usually under a note of longer value (whole or even breve).
