If you open a terminal in the temp directory and run pdflatex against
the .tex file, does it compile? If not, is there a meaningful error
message in the terminal?

Yes, it does. There is no error.

Okay, what follows is definitely grasping at straws. From a clean start
of LyX, load the HelloWord.lyx file and try to either view or export a
PDF. Presumably this will fail. Copy the LaTeX .log file in the LyX temp
directory to someplace safe. Leave LyX open (so that the temp directory
remains).
I would
create a new (empty) directory
copy HelloWord.lyx there
and use this copied file
Now, in a terminal, run pdflatex on the .tex file in the LyX temp
directory. Presumably this succeeds in generating a PDF file. Copy the
new LaTeX .log file someplace safe. Then compare the two (using either
'diff' if you are command-line oriented or 'meld' if you like graphical
output) and see if you can find a clue in the differences between the
log files. Alternatively, you can post both log files here.

Ok, here's something I (just) noticed: pdflatex, when run without
arguments, produces a .dvi file from HelloWorld.tex. It is only if I
specify "-output-format=pdf" that it creates a .pdf file.
From what I understand, this is not what pdflatex should normally do.
I'm losing track of what all we've looked at. If you have not already
done so, can you post the .tex file here? There is a way to put a
comment (I think) in a .tex file that will tell pdftex or pdflatex to
generate a DVI rather than a PDF file.
