This is due to http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/64e0c558/lyxgit I don't think that was a good idea, because the document preamble is also used for producing the previews and, even if latex has some problem, it may be something unrelated to math and the correct result may still be produced (which I think is the case here). You could try deleting those couple of lines added in the changeset above by using a normal text editor for editing the scripts. -- Enrico
