Why do you have no tempdir?
I did the test twice, once as root and once as a user and the behavior is the same in both cases. when I disable the tempdir, lyx says "No information for converting from to EPS". I usually disable tempdir because I feel more safe when I have a latex and a dvi file in the directory, in addition to the lyx file. More over, when using packages as bibtopic, it is more convenient to keep all the .bbl .blg stuff from one session the next. --Nabil
