No idea right now, there is no latex8 package in the last TeXLive bundle.

Never seen these when exporting to tex.
maybe you could rename youur ~/.lyx dir and reconfigure ?
Looks like an old default preamble stuff, or default template.
Check the preamble.

This may come from an old layout, see above.
What about testing the distrib examples or templates ?
When you select "New" you load the layout of the default document AFAIR.
Last suggestion: incorrect permissions on the ../share/lyx/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx
script (or the scripts in ../share/lyx/scripts), but this should produce errors
in the command window.
