This was a case of defective user, rather than any kind of LyXism. See
the backslash before "licenseheadL"? That doesn't belong there. Take
away that backslash and things work.
Oh, and by the way, to the best of my knowledge I'm supposed to put
LaTeX stuff not in the Local Layout part of Document->Settings, but in
the Latex_Preamble part.
Thanks, and sorry for the trouble.
