This looks like a lyx2lyx bug, assuming you get no errors when you run it.

Maybe. But unless you tell us the exact errors messages of lyx2lyx we
can't know.

Maybe.

lyx2lyx is supposed to convert your files just fine. I'd suggest the
following procedure:
Run lyx2lyx from the commandline on your file:
python lyx2lyx yourfile.lyx > convertedfile.lyx
Replace python with the full path to your python executable if it is not
in your path.
If you get errors, post them to the list.
If not, try loading the converted file in lyx.
If that gives errors, try to reduce your file to a minimal example file
that still produces the errors and post that file.
Of course the best option would be to find the bug in lyx2lyx and send a
patch to fix it ;-)
