Some more digging there appear to be bugs:

1.  MusicPlayer.Offset(n).Userrating returns the value for MusicPlayer.UserRating (but other info other than UserRating do work?)

2.  MusicPlayer.Position(n).xyz returns the value for MusicPlayer.xyz (this since 18 A1).

Recalling my efforts using MusicPlayer.Offset(1).UserRating, I was seeing that behavior you describe in 1. above.  My ratings display for next track matched the currently playing song.  That lead me to try MuscPlayer.Offset(1).Rating and populating the Ratings column to display the correct rating value.  

Function descriptions in the Info Label Section 8.1 of the Wiki appear to accurate for both usages:

MusicPlayer.Rating:  Numeric Rating of current song, also available are "MusicPlayer.offset(number).Rating" offset is relative to the current playing item and "MusicPlayer.Position(number).Rating" position is relative to the start of the playlist;

and for 

MusicPlayer.UserRating: The rating the user gave to the currently playing song. 

There is no mention of Offset capability for UserRating.

BTW, only UserRating as a display will allow a user to change a song rating on-the-fly (using PageUp or PageDown).
