No, I am on Unix (Debian Gnu/Linux). But I found that removing the file
~/.config/LyX/LyX-1.6.2.conf did the trick (with the unwanted side-effect
of restoring window size and toolbar visibility to the defaults).
Changing

 0\view-source\autoupdate=false
 
to 

 0\view-source\autoupdate=true 
 
helped without side effects.

Furthermore, I found the reason: You can reproduce the bug if you untick
both, "complete source" and "autoupdate" in the source view window.
