Sorry, but I don't think that it is all handled by LaTeX and Xdvi.
LaTeX and Xdvi are children of LyX and directed by LyX to the
internally computed hidden tmp-directory. I'm aware of that
effect: If I close a file and reopen it again, then I have to
close my running Xdvi too, because it is useless now, when using
update->dvi. If I start Xdvi again it works ok. But there is no
mystery. LyX creates a new tmp-directory (as I can see with /bin/ls)
and starts working there. The update-dvi operation creates the
new dvi file in the new tmp-dir.
latex doesn't delete and recreates the dvi file,
the contents of the dvi file will be replaced by latex/tex.
