A lien is merely a kind of security for a debt. If the contract provides for interest, then the lien, if properly drafted, will cover that. In most states there is a statutory interest rate. If the contract doesn't provide for interest, then interest will accrue at the statutory rate and the lien, if properly drafted, will cover that as well.
What is the proper response to a involuntary lien and what are the options to respond?
According to the definition of 'involuntary lien' on Answers.com: "Judgment lien, lien for unpaid taxes or special assessment by a municipality that attaches to a real property without consent of the owner, in contrast with a mortgage lien, which is voluntary." You can read more, below. An appropriate reaction is to contact the municipality -- or creditor that sent the notice -- that levied the lien, and work to clear up the debt. There may be a court judgment involved, in which case, you can find a copy of the judgment in your local courthouse.

When is a lien a good thing for a homeowner?
A lien means you owe someone money and they have a claim against your property until the debt is paid. A voluntary lien such as a mortgage can be considered a good thing since you initiated that lien process and benefitted from it by being able to purchase the property with a loan from the bank. Involuntary liens such as tax liens or judgment liens are not a good thing.
Who can file a lien on property after a bankruptcy discharge?
No one. Liens can only arise on valid debts. They can be statutory (such as a mechanics lien) or judicial ( a judgment lien). However, bankruptcy discharges the underlying debt, unless the debt was one not subject to discharge (such as taxes of a student loan). These creditors can pursue these debts, receive a judgment and enforce collection through a judgment lien.
