Here (lyx-1.0.2 on Sun Solaris 2.6), in /tmp/lyx_tmp6076aaa/lyx_bufrtmp6076aaa/
-rw-------   1 chretien dera           8 May  6 19:03 newfile.aux
-rw-------   1 chretien dera         228 May  6 19:03 newfile.dvi
-rw-------   1 chretien dera        2353 May  6 19:03 newfile.log
-rw-------   1 chretien dera         349 May  6 19:04 newfile.tex
-rw-------   1 chretien dera          34 May  6 19:03 newfile.tex.dep

  - the .dep file points to the original directory, 
%more newfile.tex.dep
/ca/dera/chretien/newfile.tex 0 0
  - the .tex file is up to date (19:04) after a change,
  - the other files remained unchanged.
  
If I past the temporary dir instead in newfile.tex.dep,
%more newfile.tex.dep
/tmp/lyx_tmp6076aaa/lyx_bufrtmp6076aaa/newfile.tex 0 0

further updates work.

Hope that helps...
