The problem must be connected with the multiple bib files. You should use
chapterbib or bibtopic.

====================
Hi, all. Thanks for the replies (and the private emails).
I think Charles is right. Unfortunately, I had already been using
\chapterbib with this document (along with Juergen's "bibtexall"
script).
The bibtopic suggestion is a good one, though I'd
been wanting to avoid having to split up my .bib file into smaller ones
for each chapter.
Here are the combinations I've tried (forgive my makeshift table formatting!):
hyperref chapterbib bibtopic (preamble) LyX' "sectioned bibliography"
results
yes yes
no no "No room
for a new \write" error
yes no no
no "No room for a new \write" error
yes no no
yes Two "no room" errors, and "load bibtopic after hyperref"
error ... I now move the \usepackage{hyperref} to as close to the preamble
start as I can, and...
yes no no
yes "load bibtopic after hyperref" error
yes no yes
no first run: LOTS of "undef. contrl. seq." errors
involving "\hyperpage" as I cross-reference a lot
yes no yes
no document compiles correctly, but there are no
bibliographies in it!
At this point, I think my best immediate option is to combine two of my
appendices into one (they're vaguely related), and use "chapterbib". That way,
their reference lists are combined into one, and the whole thing compiles
correctly (I've tried it).
Thanks to the people on this list for their help! If I ever get this
conclusively sorted out, I'll pass it along.
C.O.
