As you said, the information in the compilation log is invaluable when things go wrong. It's a pity that LyX does not provide this information when it cannot compile. The error messages it does provide are, many times, far from enough to track down a problem.

That's not the problem, apparently. I have moved everything to the master document's preamble and the strange behaviour recurs. Chapter 5 compiles.

Re: Problems including a document
Thanks for the suggestion. Surprisingly, LaTeX does compile; with a
bunch of errors in the .log, to be sure, but none of them fatal.
How can I find out what the compiler was doing when it stumbled upon the
things that LyX finds offending? The part of the .log file that seems
relevant is:
[168] [169]
! Missing $ inserted.
inserted text
$
l.370
?
! Extra }, or forgotten $.
\maththreesuperior -{^3}
l.370
?
! Missing $ inserted.
inserted text
$
l.370
?
! Missing } inserted.
inserted text
}
l.370
?
Is any of this indicative of which part of which file the compiler was
working on?

Typically LaTeX will get confused, print out something that gives you
a hint of where it went off a cliff, and then print a lot of messages
like what you are seeing here. So I would suggest looking for the
first occurance of an error out of LaTeX and see if you can determine
what part of the document it was processing when that error occurred.
Given that the error involves $, I would bet that you either have an
unterminated math command or you have tried to use a math command
without enclosing it in the proper $. You might also look for mis-
matched braces {}.
