I'll get to the bottom of the mystery. I suspect there is more to this than meets the eye and I was treating the issue too simply. I'll definitely let you know the outcome.

The second scenario the vocal track and band will lose sync is the ACW (a single track function) has to have the first bar set before creating the Chord analysis and tempo map. The Master Track is imported to the Audio Track (which is the correct track for the ACW to analyze.)

Setting Bar one repositions the audio on the Audio Track if bar one isn't the beginning of the song. The analysis will sync the Audio Track with the Chord Sheet but the other imported isolated stems are not affected by this process and are now out of sync with the Audio Track and BIAB Chord Sheet. Most times the vocal track doesn't begin on Bar one and it can be a bit tricky to get it properly aligned. Splitting Stems using RealBand and it's ACW doesn't have this issue in the songs I've tested so far.

BIAB can automatically sync any imported stem track, such as the vocal track, with the Chord Sheet and tempo during the Master Track analysis if it's set up to do so.
