I would recommend to ask the author for a Makefile target "convert"
(possibly using a VERSION variable in case one does not want to aim for
the very newest version) and the required version headers in the file.
That's a moderate effort and should provide a well-defined starting
point for migrating to newer versions.

Yes, this error sounds very much like being caused by newer versions of
LilyPond.  In this case, issue 4422 in versions >= 2.19.22.
