And you need to look twice to see the _other_ difference in your
example.  If you don't write c'4 explicitly when using s1*0, you'll get
into all kinds of trouble.  In fact, you can still get into all kinds of
trouble:

\version "2.19.40"
{
  <> \p \< \repeat unfold 3 {c' d' e' f'} <> \!
}
\addlyrics { \repeat unfold 3 { c d e f } }

{
  s1*0 \p \< \repeat unfold 3 {c'4 d' e' f'} s1*0 \!
}
\addlyrics { \repeat unfold 3 { c d e f } }


Can you figure out what's going wrong with the second example?
