This doesn't really help you, but I just tried your file in Lilypond 
2.3.11 (after doing convert-ly), and the metronome marking appeared.

Have you tried commenting out these lines?  It's just possible that the 
fontSize is messing up the metronome mark.

I'd also try commenting out this part.  In fact, I'd try commenting out 
everything, one by one, until you find the thing that's disturbing the 
metronome mark.  The alternative would be to upgrade to Lilypond 2.3.11 
(it's lilypond-unstable in fink).

Sorry I couldn't help more,
