Thank Jurgen.
I had forgotten I even had them loaded. They are part of my normal template.
The shortinsets-name is a relatively new one by Andrew Parsloe that hides long
inset names giving less distraction for something like labels or
cross-references
Unfortuately I am still getting the same error after removing those modules and
even reloading LyX. I even removed the local layout I had and stripped the
preamble to nothing but \usepackage{tikz} with no better result.
I, also, tried it in Lyx 2.1 with no luck.
It's beginning to look like it may be something specific to my set-up. Oh well
I'm not using it, just experimenting for future possible use so it not a panic.

The document compiles fine here, after I have removed all those unnecessary
modules (Rnw [knitr], Natbibapa and the unknown "shortinsets-name" module).
