 Is there a way to get Lyx to display an error message when it cannot 
 find a citation in a bibtex database or a cross-reference to a label in 
 the document?
 

Here is the way to do it:
1. In Lyx (my version is 2.1.3 on Windows 7), select View|Messages Pane

2. make a small change in your file so the document will be re-processed

3. Click on View (the two eyes icon) or ctrl-R
You will see many messages appear.

4. Scroll down to the line containing 
bibtex your lyx file name)

5. The lines immediately after that will contain the messages from bibtex
including the error messages.
In my example, they contained the message:
09:24:22.758: Warning--I didn't find a database entry for Anderson1986

So far, it just silently puts a question mark or some other indication 
in the pdf but this is an important error that I need to correct. In 
small documents these are easy to spot but in large documents like a 
book with multiple child files these can be easy to miss.
