Then let's un-tweak the defaults for Lyrics.  Sure, some padding helped in your 
"Tota pulchra" but it might result in wrong placement in other cases, so we 
should remove it:

\new ChoirStaff <<
  \new Lyrics = "s"
  \new Staff = "staff" <<
    \new Voice = "s"  \transpose c c'' { \voiceOne d4 d }
    \new Voice = "a"  \transpose c c' { \voiceTwo d4 d } >>
  \new Lyrics = "s" \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" }
  \context Lyrics = "s" \lyricsto "s" { Ni }
  \context Lyrics = "a" \lyricsto "a" { j  lli } >>
\layout { \context {\Lyrics
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing = #'()
    \override LyricText #'skyline-horizontal-padding = #0 }}
