I don't have the 2014 version (yet), so I'm haven't been able to verify how BiaB behaves. But Chris_Kn noted that if a particular type of chord wasn't found in a User Style, BiaB would simply not generate anything.
Would it be possible for BiaB to have a fallback list as an option? Some possible substitutions:
C5 -> C
C7 -> C
Cm7 -> Cm, E/C
Csus4 -> F/C
Cmaj7 -> Em/C, C
Cmaj9 -> Em7/C, G/C
C11 -> Gm7/C, Gm/C, Bb/C
Cdim -> Ebm
If the set is really sparse, a fallback might have to call another fallback, so:
Cmaj7 -> Em/C -> G/C -> G
This obviously isn't optimal, but it's probably more helpful than not outputting anything at all.
I know that I could generate these substitutions by hand, but that would cause problems for tracks that do have the right chords.

Hi David,
Yes, it already has a fallback. So it should never play silence.
Have Fun!

I figured it was probably too obvious.  Thanks!

This can be noticed by entering certain chords and then listening to what certain RealTracks play for those chords.
Perhaps easier to spot when using a certain RealTrack that has become more familiar to you, a lot easier when the RealTrack has the accompanying Notation, if you're a reader type.
Good keyboardists and guitarists have to think like that a lot of the time anyway - and such can add an openness to your comping and etc.
Finding the two notes that are most important for any given chord and internalizing that information is a large part of the job. The Shells.
