As I said in my follow-up, I tried many, many things before asking for help in
this forum. So, all of the things you are suggesting I double check have
already been triple- and quadruple-checked. As for resizing, it is moot. I do
not want one .svg converted to .pdf and the other five--which together with the
first were deliberately created to match in size and orientation--converted to
.png. That defeats the purpose: the process from beginning to end should be
identical for all six. I am absolutely certain about what is happening. What
I do not know is where LyX or the converter is storing this information. I
know how to work around the problem and I already have. But it bugs me that
this is a problem in the first place: it should not be. I'm not a fan of
workarounds, rigs, or duct tape. I will get to the bottom of this in due time
(right now this paper takes precedence) and I will post the answer here when I
do.

1) Can't you just set the exact size you want to see in the pdf input and set
it the same for all figs in the table? You know about Graphics Groups feature,
right?
2) Double check you claim that the files are really of the same size, I had
similar problems when the svg file declared different margins etc.
3) Double check that you identified the right directory with cache. Does the
cache regenerate when you relaunch lyx/pdf? Do you see new conversion happening?
(If you really changed the filename this is not probably the problem).
