It prints the warnings that you mention, but it also doesn't work. Here's the 
shell output:

And the resulting ps/pdf doesn't contain the voice-specific lyrics for the two 
beats. What's even more strange is that the default lyrics are still printed 
for the parts that I marked with \context voice=altoGroschen {f e a g}, even 
though the manual would indicate that these four notes don't belong to the 
outside voice.

Cheers,
