Thanks everyone for the feedback.
I'm using Mercurial, and unfortunately the eol support is rather screwy.
It's easy to make a case either way: that LyX should produce
consistent output, or that LyX is not responsible for line endings.
I'm having problems because of inconsistency, which I feel is at least
partially LyX's fault. I agree with Abdel's points--I'd personally be
delighted with mandatory LF output. Notepad already fails so often
due to LFs that few consider it a viable tool for file editing.
A thread on StackOverflow recommends effectively replacing
output.WriteLine(foo);
with
output.Write(foo);
output.Write(LineTerminator);
Of course I defer to the experts on whether LyX should take control of
eols, but I have my hopes. :)

As a workaround, you could add a hook that will run your file through
dos2unix before checking into version control.
