At least on my system here (SuSE 9.0) xfig embeds the included file into
the .eps file. I suspect that the preview works because the preview
conversion is done on the original file (and not the file in the temp dir).
The .eps (or .pdf or .ps or ...) that xfig generates from the .fig is 
ok, because foo_1.eps is embedded.
Indeed, the preview in lyx seems to be converted on the original .fig, 
whereas the latex run is performed in a temp dir. Then, there exists 
only a copy of the .fig but no copy of the files to be embedded into it 
(such as foo_1.eps). I understand that a temp dir should be used but 
this lot raises a question to the developers: Is it really necessary to 
copy the .figs (and apparently not only those) to the temp dir?
