Yes, it appears it might just be a accidental mis-use of outer << >> in
this case instead of { } since it's obvious that the three sections were
meant to be sequential and not simultaneous.

FWIW, in case anyone cares to know how I do things, when it comes to using
\\ with << >>, I only use them in less complex, non-lyric-associated voices
and even then it's only when I need something temporarily and there aren't
ties/slurs/phrasing slurs/other spanners that I want to attach something
to. In almost every other case, I explicitly use instantiate voices, like

<<
  { \voiceOne ... }
  \new Voice { \voiceTwo ... }
>>

so I know exactly where the voices start and stop. It almost always makes
things clearer and easier to debug.

Best,
Abraham
