The situation is even more strange.  I have installed the gv viewer
and currenly:

  - gv shows and prints the lyric tie correctly.  It shows a tiny
dialog that asks for a command, default is "lpr", I simply accept.
  - evince shows the lyric tie correctly.  Prints it strangely misplaced.
  - lpr command from a terminal prints it strangely misplaced, too.
  - lilypondtool builtin PDF viewer shows it misplaced.

So, the winner is gv.  Adobe reader is not an option.

Although I already know that fontconfig settings cause my problems, I
encounter difficult to climb that mountain and I need a solution that
just works right now, in the meantime while I finally understand how
to correctly set things up.

It's enigmatic why lpr on console doesn't work well, whilst gv's "lpr
command" does.
