Probably should have said that stripping out the \usepackage statements
was not because there was a collision between them and something else --
it's because I don't have those packages installed (and did not want to
install them just to go bug-hunting).

Many thanks Paul. Works like a charm.
I had been coming to the conclusion that I was probably going to have
to reinstall LyX since I could not get LyX to compile even when the
expression $\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ was outside the TikZ environment.
I tend to use those packages you and Jurgen stripped out, quite a lot
so they are in my basic template. I am not likely to really need
dfrac{} other than to duplicate the examples in the document I am
working through so it's not likel to be a practical problem for me.
Wait a minute! I find that find that $\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ works just fine
with them loaded both inside and outside TikZ environment as long as
I load the AMS package manually. Excellent.
Thanks to both of you.

Besides stripping out the package loads mentioned by Jürgen, I had to
switch
AMSMath (Document > Settings > Math Options) from automatic to manual load
(because the \dfrac command, which requires it, is in ERT). Once I did
that,
the document compiled.
