Ok, I'll reply to myself, in case anybody wants to know out there...
The problem was, surprisingly, the length of the file name. The
problematic song had 28 characters in its basename. Problem arises
somewhere between 19 and 28 chars (haven't experimented). I cut the
filenames of the mp3 and the lrc, and lyrics were loaded by the
player. Weird indeed.
