Nothing is wrong with doing that. If we set the executable bit, then
the code in LyX itself requires a trivial change:

        // The conversion command.
        ostringstream cs;
        cs << pconverter_->command << ' ' << latexfile << ' '
           << int(font_scaling_factor_) << ' ' << pconverter_->to;

-       string const command = "sh " + LibScriptSearch(STRCONV(cs.str()));
+       string const command = LibScriptSearch(STRCONV(cs.str()));

So the question now becomes, should we use just one script
(lyxpreview2ppm.py) for all users or should we continue to use the
proven lyxpreview2bitmap.sh for non-Windows users?
