I'd try calling lyx with '-dbg mathed' parameter from a console window.
Alternatively use View->Messages Pane->Settings
        Check 'Selected'
        Double click on 'mathed - Math editor'
        back to 'Output'
        ...
        calling: maxima
        input: 'simpsum:true;tex(5 + 2);'
        output: '7'
        Buffer.cpp (3449): updateMacro of novýsúbor9.lyx
        12:31:27.889: Automatický úklad hotový.

Here it shows:
        12:38:28.705: Alt+M Afinding 'finding 'finding 'use whole cell: 
checking expr: '5 + 2'
        calling: maxima
        input: 'simpsum:true;tex(5 + 2);'
        output: '7'
