It's probably because the OSD Window is hidden.
Right click the tray icon, check whether the `Hide' item is checked.

Hahaha... That is quite embarrassing indeed.

I did notice something else while the lyrics were displayed. The lyrics seem to 
occupy a rectangle near the bottom-left corner of the screen. I can click 
through them. However, the rectangle starting from the top left corner of the 
screen (0,0) and with the same size as the area the lyrics take, is 
unclickable. Moreover, if I put my mouse out of this unclickable area, then 
mouse my mouse back over it, then right when the mouse enters the unclickable 
area, the lyrics take a gray background and some controls appear below them, 
but the background and the controls disappear instantly and the lyrics look the 
same again.

Would you please attach a screenshot for that?

Here goes. I noticed that I can drag the area and it will move the lyrics with 
it.

In fact, it seems that the "area" occupied by the lyrics is this area, but the 
actual lyrics are displayed with a big offset from it.

It's an invisible window to detect mouse event. It should be at the same place 
as the lyric window. This might be a bug or incompatible with the window 
manager of KDE. I guess if you check `Lock position' in the popup menu, the 
invisible window will disappear.

Yes, it does indeed disappear. Also, if I check "Lock position", then mouse 
over over the lyrics (the real lyrics, not the area in the top left), they 
become half-transparent. Thus I think the lyric window handles mouseover events 
fine. Why use a secondary, invisible window for detecting mouse events then?

The problem in KDE should be fixed in 0.4.0
