For a second there, I thought you guys fixed this.
In Valis 1 there's a serious lip-synch problem in all of the cut-scenes after
the first one (the one with Yuko getting up and going to school is fine, but
once she's at school you run into them). The rest of the game seems to
run fine, though.

Not all cutscenes. "Sadness Reiko" towards the end is perfectly sync, others are not.

But yes, this is an old recurrent issue with a couple of CD games which has yet to be resolved. Some tracks begin too soon, others too late (usually by a second or two). In my own experience, it doesn't seem to be due to mechanical latency -- about two years ago, I tested a fair number of games in 1x with the same result. The list of the games I tried must still be somewhere on the forum

Yes, it's an old problem. I believe those games rely on the latency of the PCE CD drive to be synchro and this is something hard to emulate, the easiest would be to hand tune those games but this would be a lot of work.
