Looks like correct analysis. > This issue makes out-of-tree builds fail. Example: the sdcc manual is a > .lyx file. When checking out sdcc from svn, and then trying to do an > out-of-tree build in a directory build, it fails due to this bug. Despite the warning from svn info, lyx normally loads up the file, exports it etc. So I do not follow what "out-of-tree builds fail" exactly means or what kind of problem you actually encounter.
