It's in Trevor's patch from 9 hours ago:

I see my mistake... it's only in \lyricmode. Trevor's patch is
actually clearly worded; I'm just not used to reading texinfo.
If I had carefully observed the hierarchy of @item commands,
I would have understood.

+...@item Around every opening and closing curly bracket.
+...@item After every command or variable, i.e. every item that
+begins with a @code{\} sign.
+...@item After every item that is to be interpreted as a Scheme
+expression, i.e. every item that begins with a @code{#} sign.
+...@item To separate all elements of a Scheme expression.
+...@item In @code{lyricmode} to separate all the terms in both
+...@code{\override} and @code{\set} commands.  In particular, spaces
+must be used around the dot and the equals sign in commands like
+...@code{\override Score . LyricText #'font-size = #5} and before and
+after the entire command.

Sorry for the noise.
