Another problem I encounter is with long file paths, but only when
using, say, PNG images in my LyX files. LyX again fails with an obscure
error. Debugging the image conversion in the cache showed that my the
filename was really long and at some point the converted image was "not
found". I moved my LyX file directory to a path closer to the root, thus
making the cache file names shorter, and the errors stop. I can probably
reproduce this easily, if more info is needed.

I am not really sure why we use such long temp file names. What's the benefit, since the leading index makes sure that the file is unique? Why is
  1_my_long_path_for_some_unknown_reason_file.png
better than
  1_file.png
?

I understand that this gives minor debugging information (that can probably be obtained via a debugging channel), but it is not the first time that it triggers LaTeX file length limits.
