For what is worth, the new update mechanism has been ported to LyX 2.3.1. Currently, this is only available on Disco, which has LyX 2.3.2. It is of course available through the ppa for older versions. I would be very interested to know whether this new scheme (basically "do things as it should have been done from the start") helps.
