I just tried my copy of your example and there were no problems to
upgrade to version 2.4 (or 2.5) with convert-ly.

No, it's the \lyricsto "partb" that starts to look for the voice
called "partb" already at the beginning of the score. So, it's
completely harmless, you could just ignore it. In fact, when you
upgrade to version 2.4 or later, the warnings don't appear anymore.
