Bug: lyrics vertical spacing and dynamics with extra-offset

Dear list I am writing down the Tenor part of Mendelssohn’s Elias (Elijah) and stumbled upon the following, which clearly is a bug (to me). I attached the three bars of the piece in which it appears. Notice that both the upper and the lower voice contain a Dynamic mark. The two marks have an ex
