I was about to mention this source of missing \begin{document} error
due to the fact that LyX must create the path to the directory
for inclusions when a temporary is used.
What is misleading in addition is the fact that exporting to LaTeX
does not show any problem (no path needed).
Seems that the code creating the file path should protect spaces,
even if is not advisable to use such spaces in file names on an OS where
the space is a separator.
