I would first look at a few things.

1. Are you sure they are note based lyrics? You indicated these were older files, and many of the very old files obtainable from the web used line based (not bar based, because it hadn't been introduced yet).

2. In MIDI file options, again since these may be old files, make sure the lyric option is set to "GM format", not the old "PGMusic format". See the details at about page 215 of the BIAB user manual.

May not help, but only takes a moment to check.
