This can happen because of the new 'vector' flag for file formats. Search
the list archive for details.

supposed to happen and does not occur on linux, and so far no windows user
was able or willing to debug this.

See http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2764. This will probably be
fixed in 1.5.0.
