Defeated. This was an *example* for a *custom* user written pe-preamble.
This specific example loads a package that is not auto-loaded by LyX, so
there is no danger of an option clash. It is put in the pre-preamble to
ensure it is loaded before the auto-loaded packages.
If the user wants to add options to a LyX-auto-loaded package, then this
could/should be done with \PassOptionsToPackage in the pre-preamble, but
without \usepackage command.

Acutally, repeated \usepackages with a *different option set* is not
allowed. This is because the second \usepackage is ignored and hence the
different options are ignored too.
However, as the minimal example
\documentclass{minimal}
\PassOptionsToPackage{utopia}{mathdesign}
\usepackage{mathdesign}
\PassOptionsToPackage{greekuppercase=italicized}{mathdesign}
\usepackage{mathdesign}
\begin{document}
$\Gamma$
\end{document}
shows, \PassOptionsToPackage after \usepackage is silently ignored.
I.e. if LyX were to use it, this would not prevent the error but only the
error detection.
