I don't know exactly what happens in your example but a lyrics context
inside a voice doesn't seem right to me. Instead create a subvoice and
assign the lyrics later to it.
I modified your example to show what I mean.

\version "2.16.2" 

  sopV = \relative c'' { c4 c \new Voice = sopL { \voiceOne c2 c } c4 c } 
  altV = \relative c'  { c4 c c c c c c c } 

  \score { 
    \new ChoirStaff <<
      \new Staff = upper << 
        \new Voice = sop { \voiceOne \sopV } 
        \new Voice = alt { \voiceTwo \altV } 
      >> 
      \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "upper" } \lyricsto sopL { A C
}
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto alt { A B C D E F G H } 
    >> 
  }
