Instead of using "Specify Current Lyric," I just double-click on a
problematic lyric with the Selection Tool, and it automatically takes
me to the proper Verse or Chorus number.

In Finale 2003, the program "helpfully" moves lyrics to the next
higher number verse or chorus whenever you copy passages containing
lyrics. I think this was to allow you to alter lyric baselines
separately, but I found it to be a pain, as you do.
Don't delete the lyrics, just change "Specify Current Lyric" to one
number higher (1 to 2, say) and you will be able to adjust the
baselines for the copied lyrics.
