The unchanged .ly file works correctly in 2.19.15, so maybe consider
installing this version.  It's really quite reliable.

Alternatively, if you want to stay with 2.18.3, try running the two
contexts in parallel for the whole piece, using \skips to pass over the
notes which don't have alternative lyrics, like this (for the Bariton line):

        \new Lyrics = "refrain2"  \lyricsto "Bariton" {
          \set stanza = "2)"
          Sur nor | monts, sur nos monts puis -- | sants, tout puis -- sants,
          l'on | n'en -- tends le vent n'en -- | tend que le vent
          l'on ne |
          voit l'on ne voit le | ciel que le ciel l'on ne |
          sent que le so -- leil Au re --
          lons cher -- cher le vent
          vent. Ouh - - -
        }
        \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Bariton" {
           \repeat unfold 23 \skip 1
           voir au re -- voir re -- voir au re -- voir nous all~- |
        }
 
The value 23 is the number of "missing "syllables.

A similar approach may help with this too.
