The D.C. at end was likely intended to return to the beginning of the verses, NOT including the 2-measure repeat ad-lib at the start.
Indeed, D.C. (in music ) means "da capo" that is verbatim for "from the beginning". I'd then expect to resume the whole score, including the first two measures. If you want to resume from a different point instead of the beginning then you must use the "dal segno" that means, verbatim, "from the mark".

Thanks for the ideas. Turns out I probably misinterpreted the composer's intent. The D.C. at end was likely intended to return to the beginning of the verses, NOT including the 2-measure repeat ad-lib at the start. Otherwise, he might have done what he indicated in a companion piece where he used a Dal Segno at end, pointing back to the Segno which was in the ad-lib repeat section at the start.
Anyway, since there were just two verses after the master repeat ad-lib section, I placed them inside a second master repeat section with invisible bars, substituting the D.C. flow direction with a "D.C." text label..
For the companion piece, where the 2-measure master repeat ad-lib WAS intended to play again before verse 2, placing an invisible open bar after the master repeat reset the pointer and the first verse was highlighted as it should have been. I placed an invisible local repeat open at the beginning, and close (2) at the end. Instead of using D.S. flow direction, I substituted a text label. I was afraid that causing the opening master repeat to play that second time preceding verse 2 would reset the pointer again, causing the first verse to be highlighted again. I was pleasantly surprised when it highlighted verse 2 as it should have.
After getting my head wrapped around it, it makes sense. Now if I can just remember for future use in case it comes up again.....
(notice that the 4th note in the 1st bar is erroneously affected by the accidental on the preceding note - this is a long time quirk of NWC):
Yes, I know that, but, let me say, it's terrible for reading at first sight. A Vivaldi manuscript I recently notated had those orrors... (not a mistyping )
When changing a note to an octave chord, all attributes of the original note are applied to the created one.
Thanks, Warren, but usually this kind of problem arises because I'm copying from a "bugged" score. Rarely I needed to add the octave to a long section.
By the way: for the same function there is also OctaveDoubling.nw.nwcut.lua, rg_AddOctave.php, rg_AddOctave.Lua.

I think it's because they're in octaves and thus could be correct. Check this snippet that detects the error correctly (notice that the 4th note in the 1st bar is erroneously affected by the accidental on the preceding note - this is a long time quirk of NWC):

I don't know why Score Review didn't flag the octave, but you might want to use dooctave.js (nwc-scriptorium.org) in the future. When changing a note to an octave chord, all attributes of the original note are applied to the created one. Installation instructions are in the first few lines.

I don't understand why "Score review" don't flag as warnings (and don't find) the various missing octave accidentals of this score.

It's notorious that NWC after the D.C. or D.S. does not applies the master repeats. Well, that's one of the two "standards" and has its reasons.
What happens with the lyrics looks instead as a bug. I'm not one of the experts mentioned by Mike but I can suggest a workaround as follows.

It would be hard to tell for sure without seeing the actual score, but I am betting that it has to do with either using or not using special bar lines at certain spots in your score. There are people here who are experts at getting repeats and flow control to do their bidding. I am not one of those people unfortunately.
