First, a gentle reminder to always include a \version line in the
bug-tracker.  Future syntax changes affecting the posted file are
easier to get with convert-ly if we already know the --from
version.

This is not a code bug.  Non-staff lines above a staff need
  \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #DOWN

I suppose this could be better documented.  I recently moved the
mention of this from a @knownissues block to the prop description
for staff-affinity in NR 4.4.1
(see "Within-system spacing properties").

Where are some other good places to mention this in the docs?

    \new Lyrics = below { s1 }

    \context Lyrics = above {
      \lyricsto "t" {
        \repeat unfold 100 \lyricmode { top }
      }
    }
    \context Lyrics = below {
      \lyricsto "b" {
        \repeat unfold 25 \lyricmode { bottom }
      }
    }
