Here's the issue:of course!
save1 is the bug i've encountered and save2 is right before playing a new game.
These bugs happened to me when I skipped either the battle tutorial or all of these, didn't try from the beginning.
I'm playing on linux via Wine
The game has its own system where it adds tags, and checks them. Basically like the Switches already built into RPG Maker so I have no idea why the dev did this.
When translating, they must have done some batch scripting to ignore some of those - but they only ignored the add and the check command, not the remove one. So every remove is now removing a tag that was never applied, and everything that gets added never gets removed.
For instance, with each of the three questions to ask her, it checks if you've already asked her, and if not then increments a variable and sets the tag to say you've talked to her:

When that variable reaches 3 (actually 20, but that's because it starts at 17 by this point), you can talk to Lana and continue.
After leaving with Lana, it then removes those three tags:

The problem is pretty obvious there, I think.
Now, these tags are stored in the save file, so if you did that part in the version uploaded by OP (my first fix for the side quests did not fix this either, which is what OP patched with and reuploaded as the base game), and then downloaded the newest patch. your save is still broken.
My second bugfix, and the subsequent steam update patch (the patch linked in OP) fix this, but not retroactively. Any saves made on the unpatched version will run into this issue.
Now, there's some good news and bad news. The good is that it's easy to replace the map file and add in something to reset the tags (not all, just the three for talking to her). I've attached Map11 where her bottom option "Nothing to ask" will reset the count.
The bad news is that you'll almost certainly run into the same problem later in the game, where it will think you've already done something and thus not let you proceed. It would take longer to fix every instance than it would to just start over from scratch.
Note, only people actually suffering from the "can't start NG+" would want to DL this file. Anyone who started after patching won't have any problems.
