A Voice context in LilyPond can only contain notes, not lyrics.
I know that this seems unintuitive to some people, but that's the
way it is designed. Also, if you several pieces of music or whatever
within a pair of curly braces {...} in a LilyPond file, it means
"typeset these pieces of music in a sequence after eachother".
If you want several things to happen simultanously, they have to
be included in a <<...>>. So, you instructed LilyPond to insert an
empty bar after the end of the \tenMusic, and so it did.

Dear list,
When creating a score for the choir I'm in, I found out that
Lilypond generates an extra measure at the end when the lyrics are
defined within the voice. When they are just outside the closing `}'
of the voice, the resulting pdf looks the same, except the empty bar
at the end has gone.
Is this a bug?
This is the (almost) smallest example I could come up with that
still has the problem.
%% -- sniplet begins here
\version "2.4.2"
tenMusic = \notemode { \relative c' { c4 c c c } }
tenText = \lyricmode { E -- tra bar. Why? }
\score {
\context ChoirStaff {
<<
\context Staff = "ten" {
\context Voice = "tenors" { \tenMusic }
%% When put here, the lyrics generate an extra measure at the
%% end. If they are outside the Voice brackets, it doesn't.
\context Lyrics = tenorsA { s1 }
}
\context Lyrics = tenorsA \lyricsto tenors { \tenText }
>>
}
}
%% --- sniplet ends here
TIA,
Arjan

It was funny how people were people everywhere you went, even if the
people concerned weren't the people the people who made up the
phrase "people are people everywhere" had traditionally thought of
as people. And even if you weren't virtuous, as you had been brought
up to understand the term, you did like to see virtue in other
people, provided it didn't cost you anything.
