If you need to apply arbitrary \markup commands to all lyrics, you
could install a transforming procedure that operates on each
individual LyricText:
transformText =
#(define-music-function (transformer) (procedure?)
#{ \override LyricText.text = #(grob-transformer 'text
(lambda (grob orig) (transformer orig))) #})
boxify = #(lambda (text) #{ \markup \box #text #})
jitter = #(lambda (text) #{ \markup \rotate #(- (random 20) 10) #text #})
\new Lyrics \lyricmode {
\transformText \boxify lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
\transformText \jitter lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
}

Thank you for all the examples - I don't think I'll need anything quite
that complicated, but seeing the different ways to do it was helpful.

Thanks. Justin, could you suggest an index entry (or whatever) that would have you enabled to find the necessary information? Werner A mention inside of Formatting Text (1.8.2) would be the most likely to have helped; a mention of formatting or markup in the index of the font section (1.8.3) or maybe a mention inside a section like "Techniques specific to lyrics" (2.1.2) might have helped, but that's harder to say for certain.

It is common, but it is done via \override and not \markup.
fancyText = {
\override LyricText.font-shape = #'italic
\override LyricText.color = #red
}
\new Lyrics \with { \fancyText } \lyricmode { a b c }
\new Lyrics \lyricmode { \fancyText a b c }
\new Lyrics \lyricmode { a \once \fancyText b c }

install a transforming procedure that operates on each individual
LyricText:
transformText =
#(define-music-function (transformer) (procedure?)
#{ \override LyricText.text = #(grob-transformer 'text
(lambda (grob orig) (transformer orig))) #})
boxify = #(lambda (text) #{ \markup \box #text #})

This is not a bug. You are specifying only a single LyricText when
you use \markup that way. What you have done is similar to quoting
the text which also treats the input as a single word/syllable.
By your example alone, it is unclear why you are using \markup at
all. Simply omit it and input lyrics in the manner the cited
documentation shows.
If you are intending to use markup commands, then remember each
word/syllable must be its own markup:
\lyricsto "melody" {
\markup \bold Here
\markup \italic are
\markup \box the
\markup \with-color #red words
}
You can also \override various font-interface properties of LyricText
if you want to apply certain formatting to all words/syllables without
needing to use \markup:
\lyricsto "melody" {
\override LyricText.font-shape = #'italic
\override LyricText.color = #red
Here are the words
}
