I've noticed same, above, behaviour in the Win32 Lyx;
But overall I have found Endnote export files to be most unusable
without careful filtering prior to export, it is possible though. Most
trouble appears to come from when the Abstract is exported.
To produce a key before you export I believe it is the Endnote "label"
field which needs content since this is the field converted as the Key
on export.
Once imported I then run the file through TKbibtex to auto-(re-)format
it in a manner which Lyx then handles without error.

Re-import from endnote via JabRef and vim
Forget all the above about "{" etc
JabRef generated keys are recognised and loaded fine by Lyx, both on
linux and Mac OS X.
No need for putting a "-" in between. Sorry. I got all those
math-related Lyx-errors about "{" and so on because, I think, I
attempted to load different databases by 'add' and 'delete' using the
same dialog-box linked to the "Insert>Lists TOC> Bibtex Reference"
'button' originally inserted. This seems to generate the problem as it
appears to work when I remove the 'Bibtex Reference' button (and all
related citations) first, then insert a 'fresh' one through which I
load the next database.

Subject: import from endnote via JabRef and vim
Using JabRef I managed to import a big database in txt format exported
as "Refer Export" from Endnote7. I had to use the JabRef 'Bibtex-key
generator' to get the database recognised as bibtex (and also by
Pybliographer).
Import in Lyx1.3.4 worked (after I got the Lyx-server going somehow),
but Lyx did not recognise the keys (that came up as 'name1998') it
seemed that Lys treats such key as a disrupted mathematical expression
and tried to repair it, which of course did not help. After inserting
'-' inbetween name and date to 'name-1998' everything worked fine.
Maybe this is a lyx-bug but it might be helpful to people to know.
PS I used vim to get '-' inserted in all my keys by using
search/replace with regular expressions.
