Yes, you did indeed miss the ignoreMelismata setting, which is described in 
the documentation:
http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond/Stanzas.html#Stanzas-with-different-rhythms

For an example, see my typeset of Beethoven's arrangement of "O sanctissima" 
on CPDL:
http://choralwiki.net/wiki/index.php/O_Sanctissima_(Traditional)

I printed all the slurs solid in this piece, but in other pieces (which are 
not freely available), I also used a \slurDotted ...\slurSolid for those 
stanza-dependent slurs. But the ignoreMelismata setting in the lyrics is 
always the same.

Cheers,
Reinhold

PS: Note that the comment in the documentation about the setting applying only 
to the second next syllable ("fas" in this case), is actually no longer true 
in LilyPond 2.11.x. The setting now applies to the very next lyrics syllable 
already!
