Yes. (Also, thanks for the compliment :-) )

It is hard to imagine situations in which the mass matrix would be singular. 
It is a positive definite form that gives rise to the mass matrix and so it 
really shouldn't be singular at all. Can you show the code again with which 
you build it?

The only situation where the mass matrix may become singular is if you have a 
degenerate mesh with elements of zero or negative volume.
