In your preferences file, I found the following:

\format "pdf2" "pdf" "PDF (ps to pdf)" ""

Note that the labels for the pdf and pdf2 extensions are actually the
reverse of what the converters do (i.e., pdf is via ps, not via
pdflatex). So if you're selecting View->PDF (ps to pdf), I think you're actually running pdflatex, and if you're selecting View->PDF (pdflatex),
I think you're actually running latex, dvips and ps2pdf13.

Marc, you should really delete these lines from your preferences file and
use the defaults that come with LyX (if not already done).

What do we learn from this lengthy debug session? Always provide minimal
example files!

The problem is that the "minimal" example files worked,
whereas my working file did not.

Rule 2) Always provide example files that actually show the problem.
