According to the bug's explanation, .ps and .eps are converted to .pdf, not
.png.
I am using v1.4.3 with Miktex 2.5 and ImageMagic 2.6.7, and my LyX behaves as expected by John. That is, I insert .eps graphics in my
LyX document and when invoking the pdflatex-view, the graphics are converted to .pdf.

So am I to understand that the following sequence of events should work:
1. Export an EPS vector graphic
2. Insert the EPS vector graphic into a LyX document
3. Export the LyX document to PDF using pdflatex
4. Get a PDF file with a nice vector graphic in it?
No, that does unfortunately not work in 1.4.3 (see
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2868), but it will work in 1.4.4.
The reason is that up to 1.4.3 LyX converts all graphics except .jpg
and .pdf to .png for pdflatex. This will be changed in 1.4.4, then it will
work exactly as you describe above.
If you use latex and ps2pdf instead of pdflatex then you will also get
vector graphics in 1.4.3.
