Here, if you write

  \alternative { { b d \break } { b a } }


you'll see that the 'differ' part tries to be aligned with the other
lyrics. Just it doesn't in your example because it has not room enough
to fit.

I have successfully typeset complex lyrics in repeats by one from

  - \repeat unfold 64 { \skip 4 }

into the lyricmode block, where 64 could well be 6400 if needed, or

  - { music music music  \new Voice = "nameOfTheFragment" { music
fragment here }
  music continued ... }

and then

  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "nameOfTheFragment" { \lyricsOfTheFragment }

for putting lyrics to that small fragment.
