Re: Strange behaviour

Seems what you are looking for is here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/stanzas#stanzas-with-different-rhythms

Where exactly is the documentation unclear about using multiple voices?

This works for me:
<<
  \relative c' \new Voice = "vone" {
    d2 d4 d
    <<
      \new Voice = "vtwo" {
        \voiceOne
          d4 r r
      }
      {
        \voiceTwo
        \tiny
         d8 (a) a4 d4
        \oneVoice
      } >>
    \normalsize
    e8 e
  }
>>
