My experience is only that there is a format version number for LyX at the head of each lyx file. If those are not the same, then whichever is the older LyX will refuse to handle the newer format. Meanwhile, the newer LyX will upgrade an older file to the new format. Of course this is correct behaviour, I merely have to ensure that I have the same version in both places. Yes, I agree, it does not have to be the same beyond the minor version, i.e. at present any 2.3.x.
