If it helps if you use

  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "voice" {
    \lyricmode { " " }
  }

Then you don't get the space.

Also if you comment out just one (any one) of the \consists out of

  \context {
    \Lyrics
     \consists "Bar_engraver"
     \consists "Separating_line_group_engraver"
      \override BarLine #'transparent = ##t
  }

Then it also goes away.
