\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.
