I've not checked the full list, but see the verses I posted on the bug report 
on sf.

No, I mean like when a verse is marked for poetry, it either needs to be 
something other than span. or the poetry tag needs closed in that verse.
Here's the example I posted in the bug report. (I've also committed my change 
that shows the debugging output)

<span class="currententry" xml:lang="en" lang="en" dir="ltr">
   <span class="entryname">
        <a name="Prov131" href="sword://Bible/WEB/Prov 13:1">1</a>
   </span>
   <span class="poetry">
      A wise son listens to his father?s instruction,
      <br/>
      But a scoffer doesn't listen to rebuke.
      <br/>
   </span>

So either verses need closed (which I will try before I go to bed) or poetry 
needs to be something other than a <span>. The latter would work, I think, 
but the former would be more well formed.

It may, but that defeats the purpose of span, which is supposed to be in-line 
and not block so things like centering, indenting, etc don't work.
