Do you get any kind of error in your logs when trying to extract FILE_ID.DIZ?

Have you tried running the command used in the archive editor in the console (outside the BBS) to see if the command actually works as intended? It's possible the command used is not well tested, as not many people deal with .LHA extensions these days.

Do most LHA archives actually /have/ FILE_ID.DIZ in them?

What version of Mystic do you have installed? It doesn't look like there was a 64bit prealpha created for the Pi4, so the latest may be A48. If I remember right, the developer lost whatever hardware he had to continue compiling for the Pi4, so he stopped at some point.

That said, if it's confirmed buggy, I'd recommend moving on to something else for now, as the developer hasn't been around in at least 6 months, and may not be back any time soon.

Here is the latest 32bit Pi build (probably recommended for Pi 1-2, odroid, etc), but if you are able to install a 32bit distro on your Pi4 it may work better than the version you're currently using:
