Maybe it's not LyX, but LaTeX?
I had a similar problem with the CVS lyx and had to apply the following patch:
$ cvs diff -u src/support/os_win32.C
Index: src/support/os_win32.C

I run with the environment variable LYX_NO_CYGPATH_FIX defined
and things work.
I may be right, or I may be crazy.
But it just might be a lunatic you're looking for...
