I don't think there is reason for interaction between lithium and lamictal, since I don't think lamictal is potentiating serotoniergic function in any way. (I don't think it is going to add to increased post synaptic 5-ht1 activation)
I admit I am sensitive. (I was hospitalized with SS after lithium + zoloft.)
I don't know how the potential is viewed. I know many pages will not indicate interaction between SSRI + lithium, but then others will.

claims: "MAO Inhibitors (within 14 days) with Lithium can cause serious, even fatal, interactions"
Heres a bit of an old thread (not too much)

Sorry, I will look more after I finish my exams.
You could be right that it has not been documented significantly.
