thank you for your response. Now I see the problem.

That's what I thought I did. Apparently, xfig 3.2.4 does not save the whole path in the .fig if the embedded .eps is located in the same directory. I have moved the .eps to an extra directory. Now the path is saved and all is fine.Does it work if you specify an absolute path to foo_1.eps within the xfig file?
Can one consider this behavior of xfig a bug? The problem only occurs when lyx copies the .fig to a temp dir during latex conversion.
