I think I might treat the (m) as a lyric event as a separate syllable, like 
this:

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff
    \new Voice {
      c''~ 
      \once \set melismaBusyProperties = #'()
      4~ 2 }
    \addlyrics { \lyricmode { roo -- (m) __ } }
  >>
}

As a singer, I'd know immediately what was intended.
