Actually, a minimal example works:
\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textalpha}
% \usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{mhchem}
% \usepackage{chemgreek}
\begin{document}
\chemalpha \chemOmega
\end{document}
However, Math.lyx fails with a message mentioning chemgreek.

I am not sure. Something similar to what we currently do with "fontspec" and
8-bit TeX engines. I suggest a discussion on track.
