I would consider this a bug, even though the \repeat fold feature
is completely undocumented in the manual.

However, I don't understand your problems with \skip, see the following
version of your example:

\version "2.2.4"
\paper{raggedright = ##t}
\score{
        <<
                  \context Staff \notes\relative c'{
                          c d e f \break
                          \repeat "volta" 2 { g a b c \break }
                          \alternative { { c b a g } { f e d c } }
                  }
                  \context Lyrics=A \lyrics {
                      \set stanza = "1."
                          aa aaa- aaa  aaaa
                          bb bbb bbbb bbbb
                          dd ddd ddd ddd dd ddd- ddd ddd
                  }

                  \context Lyrics=Arepeat \lyrics {
                        \skip 1
                        ccc ccc- cccc _
                  }
                  \context Lyrics=B \lyrics {
                      \set stanza = "2."
                          ww www- www  wwww
                          xx xxx xxxx xxxx
                          zz zzz zzz zzz zz zzz- zzz zzz
                  }
                  \context Lyrics=Brepeat \lyrics {
                        \skip 1
                         yyy yyy- yyyy _
                  }
        >>
}
