The culprit in my case on Mac was the missing entry for document_dir (aka Working Directory). If I fill it with the name of my real document directory (e.g. /Users/stephan/Documents) then it works for me too. The 2.2.3 LyX doesn’t need that entry in preferences and uses the platform specific default value from Qt in this case.
