The wrong numbering is probably due to that latex is not run enough by
LyX. I think we should try to debug this by exporting to latex and then
running latex from the terminal.
As for numbering still showing up on the first page of your list of
tables, I don't know why that is happening with your LyX document. I
just ran a test version in pure latex with enough \chapters to generate
a two-page toc, and enough captions to generate a two-page list of
tables. Page numbers appeared only on the second page of the toc and
lot. One reason that toc and lot can be incorrect is that an old
file.toc and file.lot is on your system and you are not running latex
enough times. In order to test my file, I removed test.lot and test.toc
and then ran latex *3* times. I'm not sure how to do this from LyX.
I think if you export your file to latex and run it 3 times both
mistakes should be fixed.
How many figures do you have? Could you export the file to latex, save
it as temp.tex, and get rid of the figures, and then run latex 3 times
just to see if we've fixed the list of table and toc problem? If you
have a lot of figures, then you could try this:
sed -e 's/\\includegraphics{[^}]*}//g' thesis.tex > temp.tex
This assumes that when you export your document, it is named thesis.tex.
Change the name to whatever it is. The sed stuff just gets rid of all
graphics in your document so that you can run a text.
However, if your grahics are in child documents, that won't work, since
missing figures will still show up when you run latex. Let me know if
there is any way you can export a latex file and run latex on it.
