No, it's because you use embedded TeX constructs (line break in the
title) that fail:

    title = "\\\\Variation I."

This sort of error is almost impossible to catch/fix.  You should use:

    \header {
            crossRefNumber = "3"
            footnotes = "\\\\sic.  In other words, this one measure is in 4/4 
instead of 3/4, but not notated that way.  "
            tagline = "Lily was here 1.5.1.lec1 -- automatically converted from 
ABC"
            subtitle = "Variation I."
    }

or similar.

Greetings,
Jan.
