Bach does it even worse. I remember hemioles in several choroi that
were discoverable mostly because the lyrics changed metre (in the
meaning of "stress pattern").
I suppose that this kind of cue would mostly be lost on non-native
singers.

Overriding the composer with regard to metric choices may often be a bad
idea since quite often there is a subtle ambiguity and balance between
the different voices and their respective melodic highlights.
A metre change might make a much more definite statement than intended
by the composer.
