*Arghh*
As we read in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics:
"Note: do not use an underscore, _, to skip notes – an underscore
indicates a melisma, causing the preceding syllable to be
left-aligned."
This is exactly what happens. Here, the topmost LyricText is
interpreted as the end of a melisma, and so left-aligned.
Use \skip instead of _ and your problem is solved.
