No, I cannot create such files anymore. But it is easy to fake it. Just remove 
the trailing line feed
of a file created by 2.0.x and try to read with 2.1.x.
(Opening this file with 2.0.x will work, since no conversion needed)

Hi,


I had similar (i can't remember exact error message but it was it was
closely related) error around of two weeks ago but instead of upgrading
it occurred after unexpected power loss.

Following steps help me to use corrupted files again:

   1. Locate working directory
   2. Instead of your main project file e.g. filename.lyx locate and open
   filename.lyx~ with Lyx (you have to point location of Lyx binary,
   alternatively you can open this file via Lyx file menu  open but on this
   case first you should insert *.* as file name to make all file types
   visible for Lyx)
   3. Save result as new project e.g new.lyx (it is just good practice to
   keep recovery and original files separated)
   4. After manual check of content of file you can rename new.lyx back to
   filename.lyx

I am using Win 7 x 64 Lyx 2.0.3

Br,
Indrek

 Sounds like some sort of lyx2lyx conversion error. If you can run LyX 
 from a terminal, you should get more error messages, though that won't 
 solve the problem by itself. So, alternatively, try posting one of the 
 problematic files here, or sending it to me privately, if you prefer, 
 and we can try to figure it out.

I experienced something similar when converting some files created on windows.
It turned out, that the last line ended with \end_document but was not
