Alright! I went through the steps carefully and finally found the
problem! This is indeed the babel problem. Sorry for the mix-up.
In my 1.16 documents, I didn't use the babel package at all. When I open
it with lyx 1.2, the default preference of lyx1.2 has
"\usepackage{babel}" in the "lang opt/language", so the babel package is
inserted into the document, after all other packages.
The cite, drftcite packages do need the babel to be loaded first, if the
babel is used. Please note this is just opposite to what other people
have said:

Since I do not use babel at all for my older documents written with lyx
1.16, I don't have any problem.
Right now, I strongly believe people are using different versions of
latex or different versions of latex packages! That probably explains
the inconsistancy between machines. I have send my "non-working"
examples out several times to people and they told me nothing was wrong.
I don't see the usefullness of an example this time so I will not
include one here. Thank you for your help!
