It appears that your midi has this as start of the second track:

4d 54 72 6b // = MTrk
00 00 00 40 // = chunk length (64)
00 0f f5 80 43 e8 02 12 08  // = probably fscked up time signature

A midi time signature would look like

00 ff 58 04 04 02 18 08

only that it seams somehow a 0 nibble crept in, shifting some numbers, and 
somehow another nibble was shifted in.

I never had such problems.

Well, if you suspect that it might be an old version, how about telling us 
which one you use? And if it is not too much hassle, could you provide a 
sample .ly file which produces such a midi?
