There is no misunderstanding, it seems you didn't understand
Croation language: "-lo, live (or productive) suffix of neuter
gender, all-Slavic and pre-Slavic, derived from past active
participle: <bilo> 'was' (Vuk) from <biti> "to be".
And, as you may see, he is not talking about participle ending -l-
(PIE *-lo-), but he clear stressed that it is derived from past
active participle <bilo> 'was'.
