\addlyrics affects midi channel selection

The following snippet:

\version "2.19.32"

S = \relative c'' {  c d e f }
    SLyrA = \lyricmode { tra la la la }
T = \relative c'' { c d e f }

\score {
     <<
        \new Staff \S
            \addlyrics \SLyrB
        \new Staff \T
    >>
    \layout {}
    \midi {}
}

generates a midi file which has the \S and \T music on midi channels 1 and 3, resp. If there are more \addlyrics commands, then more midi channels are skipped.

This is, I believe, new behavior which started sometime after v2.19.15 and before or at v2.19.19. I read the Changes.pdf for v2.19.19 and didn't see (or recognize) any description of this new behavior.

Is there anywhere a discussion of what this is about? Why would one want to include lyrics in a midi file? Is there a way to turn this behavior off?
