Well, let's see:
First version:
>> \new Lyrics = "lyrics" \lyricmode { Words to first verse }
[...]
>> \context Lyrics = "lyrics" \lyricmode { Words to next verse }
Second version:
>> \new Lyrics = "lyrics" \lyricsto "up" { Words to first verse }
[...]
>> \context Lyrics = "lyrics" \lyricsto "up" { Words to next verse }
Looks different to me. Also, either version:
>> \version "2.18.2"
And indeed, version 2.18.2 falls flat rather uglily on the second
version while current LilyPond versions have no problem with it.
This is issue 2010
<URL:https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2010>, fixed in
version 2.19.16 but likely not in a manner where this example would
work. I suspect this example would require the fix from issue 4419
<URL:https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4419> in order
not to be stopped short, meaning a version of LilyPond of 2.19.23 or
later.

Upgrade. The respective fixes are in C++ code so there is no way you
can just patch up some parts of LilyPond.
