This file is a bit too simple... I can't imagine a real document where
a floating figure follows immediately the title, and I suppose the
reLyX writers didn't either.
Have a look at the LaTeX reexported file: the float is
inserted in the \author{} command, which creates the errors.
So, adding a paragraph
My first paragraph
between \maketitle and \begin{figure} in the LaTeX source
(or the same in the LyX window)
solves the problem.
>From the LyX window point of view, your example shows also
that putting the \title and \author commands before the \begin{document}
does not allow LyX to show correctly these informations, as the
preamble is not shown in the window. The compilation works OK however
if teh newline is added.
Considering the last question, it is well known that the short version
od headers, captions, etc. is not implemented in LyX,
you will find how to do it in TeX mode in the list archive.
