Lyrics written to ID3v2.4 tags with taglib do not show up on the iPhone

[Thomas Post]

Thanks for the fast response! 
What I did not mention before, the iPhone shows the 'Loading Lyrics...' message which never disappears. For me that looks like the DB hast he 'lyrics' flag but can't read them from the track. 
Are there any apple documents on that lyrics behavior? I guess not :-( do you have any other source for this information? or a workaround? a refresh with apple script should add that flag to the DB right?

In addition there's a conflict in the question of whether that text should be null-terminated or not.

But when I clear the Lyrics and add them again in iTunes it works. The diff between the iTunes USLT tag and the taglib USLT tag is only the 'tag size'. I saw in the id3v2farme is a part for NO_ITUNES hacks that does something different with the frame size. Maybe there is some additional hack for the iPhone required? or maybe the iPhone does it correct and does not need the iTunes hack?
