* Could you tell us what version of LyX you are using?

* Are you using a temporary directory? To check:

Using the Qt frontend look in the Paths pane of the Edit->Preferences
dialog.

 [x] Use temporary directory [/tmp    ] [Browse...]

Using the XForms frontend look in the Input->Paths tab of the
Edit->Preferences dialog.

 Temp dir: [x] [/tmp    ] [Browse...]


I'm very surprised by the generated filenames too.
 lyx -dbg graphics
should dump a whole heap of information to the console to help you
diagnose the problem.
