\skip in lyrics is indeed arcane and unwieldy. The relationship
between the time value after \skip and what is actually skipped seems
as good as random to me. musicxml2ly does all lyric skipping,
including melismas, with \skip4 (regardless of time signature), and
still I have no idea how it works. But as you worked out, new voice
contexts are your friend.
