Answering to myself, but still I'd appreciate to read the rationale for
the alternative behaviour:  The "workaround" is to move the "\lirycsto"
and "\new FiguredBass" from the simultaneous grouping with the "Basse"
voice over to the simultaneous grouping with the "\upper" and "\lower"
variables.
 
[See previous post for the complete example.]

      % This alternative does not produce the "expected" behaviour.

    % This alternative does produce the right behaviour

    \lyricsto "Basse" \new Lyrics \degrees
    \new FiguredBass { \realizationFigures }

At first, I would think it logical to have the first alternative produce
the same result as the second.
Or are there examples where it wouldn't be desirable?
