Wolfgang,
The LyX temporary directory cannot, as far as I know, be renamed. You
can alter its parent directory (/tmp by default) in Tools >
Preferences... > Paths, but there is no reason I can see to do so.
The problem is not with the name of the temporary directory. What is
needed now is to figure out why the .tex file was not "properly" closed.
I do not see anything suspicious in the file name. Is there a message in
the LaTeX log, prior to the "not closed properly" bit, that indicates a
problem with compilation?
If this error repeats, you might try going to the temporary directory
and opening PBR-4thEdition-20170410-A.tex in a text editor (xed if you
are on Linux Mint). Assuming this is the main document, it should begin
with \documentclass... and end with \end{document}. You might be able to
find a problem (missing \end statement or something) in the file that
could help narrow the cause.
