I seem to recall some posts to the list once upon a time saying that 
lyx2lyx was not foolproof.  Might be you've hit a bug in it.

Two things come to mind:

1.  You could try running the following from a DOS prompt:

C:\applications\lyx\share\lyx\lyx2lyx\lyx2lyx -t221 -d2 C:/temp/work1.lyx

Note that I changed the slashes to Microsoft slashes in the program path 
but not in the path to the data file (not sure the latter makes a 
difference), and that I added the -d2 switch to put it in verbose mode 
(not sure if there should be a space between d and 2).  This might give a 
useful error message.

2.  Assuming no proprietary content, you could try posting both the Unix 
and DOS versions of work1.lyx to the list, so that some of us could try 
it on our setups.  (Or, if you're bashful, you could e-mail them to me. 
:-)
