Yes, I confirm that this fixes the problem:
* In "Documents > Settings... > Formats", I change "Default output set to" from
"PDF(XeTeX)" to "Default".
NOTE: this does not have immediate affect! I need to:
* save the document with this settings change,
* close LyX,
* open LyX
* open the changed document
I'm curious:
* why on earth should the behavior in LyX be related to the chosen output
format?
* does changing from "PDF(XeTeX)" to "Default" have any side effects?

Thanks. I think I have narrowed down the problem to "Default output set to "
with "PDF (XeTeX)" in
Document > Settings... > Formats.
Can you confirm that the problem goes away if you use the "Default"
output format? (To force LyX to regenerate the preview you can just save the
file under a new name after you made the change.)
