Paul Rubin knows. He provided the following solution, which worked like a
charm. I also added it to the Wiki here:
http://wiki.lyx.org/Tips/ResetNumberingOfTablesAndFiguresInAnAppendix
Insert the following in ERT somewhere inside the appendix before any floats
(but in a standard paragraph, not in the Appendix section title):
\setcounter{figure}{0}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{A.\arabic{figure}}
To do the same for Tables, just change the string "figure" to "table" in all
three places.
This changes the entries in the TOC correctly as well.
