Hi,
I tried your eps files in LyX 1.6 beta3 under windows XP. I use Adobe
reader 8 for pdf (generated by pdflatex IIRC) and gsview 4.9 /
ghostscript 8.62 for postscript viewing.
It does work better for me that for you it seems (you may suffer from an
outdated/buggy imagemagick). I tried the images without checking the
option to clip to the bounding box, and with it (ion that case, also
with clicking on the button to get the size from the file).

Okay, I have prepared some files to illustrate the problem, so other have a
chance to verify.
Output from bbget, using esp-gs v7.70.x:
http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_bbget_espgs770.eps (64k) (works!)
displays fine in LyX with or without the clipping options
pdf/ps/dvi output is fine
Output from bbget, using gs v8.62:
http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_bbget_gs862.eps (64k) (doesn´t work)
gsview 4.9 cannot even open this file... it reports errors.
displays wrong in LyX with and without the clipping options. LyX cannot
actually read the bounding box at all.
does not display in pdf (blank pages), result in errors in gsview and
dvi viewer.
Output from gsview v4.7, using option PS to EPS, also checkmarked "Automatically
calculate Baounding Box". BTW, using gsview v4.9 gives the same result.
http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_gsview47.eps (64k) (doesn´t work)
displays wrong (full page) in LyX with or without the clipping options
pdf/ps/dvi is fine though
Output from ps2eps v1.64 utility, parameters as suggested by
http://www.tm.uka.de/~bless/ps2eps.html:
http://www.ines.mynetcologne.de/dummy_ps2eps164.eps (64k) (doesn´t work)
displays wrong (full page) in LyX without the clipping options and fine
with it.
ps/dvi are correct
pdf is correct without the clipping option, but the figure is missing
when using the clipping option (yep... it works without and _not_ with).
Now, I do not really understand why you need such a complex workflow.
Why do you need to go in Linux ?
I did the following in Windows (one line, mail agent may wrap it):
gswin32c -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dEPSCrop -sDEVICE=epswrite
-sOutputFile=dummy2.eps dummy.eps
(You need to have gs in your path)
The resulting image displays fine in LyX with or without the clipping
options, and ps/pdf/dvi is fine also.
So my conclusion is : don't care about what LyX displays, care about the
final result, and most encapsulated postscripts (eps) are fine there.
And also, use ghostscript 8.62 on windows.

PS: personally, I use pdf instead of eps: it takes less disc space, you
can edit easily with inkscape, everyone can view them, and last but not
least, it is the base format for pdf(La)TeX which is nicer (pdf bookmarks).
