Thank you very much. To resolve the problem I migrated from tetex to texlive,
then I manually installed the needed classes; rehashed the TeX database; 
reconfigured LyX and got it working!

I still can't figure out what changed when I switched to the new version of 
LyX, as *nothing* else (to my understanding)
had changed. Mystery.

Anyway, thank you!
