 This problem may come from the bounding box of your EPS

 pdflatex because the EPS is converted by LyX before

 dvipdfm (here the EPS is given as is to latex). 

Generally, dvipdfm uses GhostScript's pdfwrite to convert 
EPS graphics.  (See its config file.)  If I recall 
correctly, epstopdf does not correctly handle negative 
coordinates in the bounding box.  See
