Oops, my mistake.  I should have said default-staff-staff-spacing.

The reason why the Lyrics causes problems is because it comes between the
FiguredBass and the staff above, so it's used for calculating the spacing.

The real surprise to me is that the 'padding value works at all.  Non-staff
lines are supposed to be placed in *after* the staves are already placed.

HTH,
