in gregorian.ly there is the setting:
\override SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing = ##t
in \layout which causes the problem.

You can set it to #f in your own \layout.  Of course the spacing is
changed now, but playing around with some other properties of
SpacingSpanner leads to an acceptable result, I hope.

In the snippet below I integrated your "Tes -- ting" and another
little bit larger example, discussed some time ago in the german
forum. http://www.lilypondforum.de/index.php?topic=1011.0 (but you
need an account there to see the attached files)

\version "2.14.2"

%-------------- Example 1

\include "gregorian.ly"

myLayout = \layout {
 \context {
   \Staff
   \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
   \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
 }
 \context {
   \Voice
   \override Stem #'length = #0
 }
 \context {
   \Score
   % not needed! -> gregorian.ly
   % \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
   \override SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing = ##f
   \override SpacingSpanner #'common-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 3)
   \override SpacingSpanner #'base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 2)
   \override SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment = #1.4
   timing = ##t
   barAlways = ##f
 }
}

chant = {
 \clef treble \cadenzaOn \autoBeamOff
 g'( a' b') b'~ b'
}

chantLyrics = \lyricmode { Test -- ing }

\score {
 \new Staff <<
   \new Voice = "chantVoice" \chant

 \layout { \myLayout }
}

\score {
 \new Staff <<
   \new Voice = "chantVoice" \chant
   \new Lyrics \lyricsto "chantVoice" { \chantLyrics }

 \layout { \myLayout }
}
