Attached please find mwe.lyx and mwe.pdf, which was created by
mwe.lyx. This document is standard book class, sized 6 inches high
by 4 inches wide to fit on reasonably sized mobile devices. The
symptom is that index item "Incremental/Differential Learning" spans
about 35 pages, but there's no index begin tag on the first of those
pages, or anywhere near it. You can read the rest of the symptom
description as chapter 1 of the actual document.
I could have refined it further, but after 3 days I'm so punch drunk
I was afraid I'd make the symptom vanish and have to start all over
again, so if some of you could take a look at it, I'd be very
grateful.
do not write an \index command into a sectioning command. Use it after
such a command. See image

Confirmed! Thank you Herbert.
I moved the two index opening commands from the end of the sectioning
command to the start of the standard text that follows the sectioning
command, which eliminated the symptom.
My one remaining worry is that, with bad luck and just the wrong
vertical alignment, the section header might fall at the bottom of the
page *before* the page pointed to by the index entry. But so far, I
seem to be having the opposite problem (section header falling *after*
the page pointed to by the index entry, but only with my compile
script, not with eyeballs) so I have to do more research.
The "real" problem was your \nameref command more than 20
pages before. It refers to the \chapter with the label _and_ the
\index{...|(}
command. So you get the pagenumber of the \nameref as a start,
because executes the titel _with_ the \index command.
You can also use the optional argument for special chapter headings if
you have some \nameref pointing to it:
\chapter[For TOC and nameref]{For normal title and
index\label{foo}\index{...|(}}
Then ech refence should point to the title and not the following text.

Thanks for your help on this. It solved the worst of my two index
problems.
