What I am discovering is, perhaps, some problem with my (original,
large) bibtex file, which is several mb. When I use the small test.lyx
file it works fine with the test.bib file (once I removed the \putbib
etc.). The large bibtex file, however, does not work, even though it
now produces no error messages, and it works perfectly (and did for
years) with normal, non-sectioned bibliographies. I have never tried it
before with sectioned bibliographies, and there must be something in it
which the bibtopic package gags on.
I shall continue to explore it. If worse comes to worse, I can make
small bibtex files for each section, or break up the main article into
two parts, and compile them separately, which will work for sure.
Thanks for your help, Jurgen.

I attach here a small bib file with the required references, and a

In my hands this still fails.
Ouch.
Forget about \putbib. I was mixing up bibtopic with bibunits.
The attached file works for me, as you can see from the PDF.
