I don't think LP fails, it's just that the vertical spacing isn't corrected
with the \staffSize macro (which btw can be simplified to

staffSize = #(define-music-function (parser location new-size) (number?)
  #{
    \set fontSize = #new-size
    \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep new-size)
    \override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep new-size)
  #})

and then it can be used in any context owning a font size engraver)

to control the vertical spacing just specify

\new Lyrics \with {
      \staffSize #-4 alignAboveContext = #"test"
      \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing = #'(
        (basic-distance . 2)
        (padding . 1)
      )
    }

or similar
