Perhaps you use a footnote in a section, in which case LyX redefines
the footnote command, which probably confuses the latex2html converter.
Try exporting to latex, and check if you get the following in the beginning
of the file:
%% Special footnote code from the package 'stblftnt.sty'
%% Author: Robin Fairbairns -- Last revised Dec 13 1996
\let\SF@@footnote\footnote
...
\expandafter\noexpand\csname SF@gobble@opt \endcsname}
\def\SF@gobble@twobracket[#1]#2{}
If so, remove this part, and run latex2html manually.
If the above doesn't help, try using a different latex2html converter:
