The problem is, that XeTeX, LuaTeX and supporting packgages (fontspec
in this case) are moving targets.
The fontspec version shipped with even the newest release of Debian (all
of Debian/stable, Debian/testing and Debian/unstable) and Ubuntu does not
support LuaTeX and is not compatible with the version from TeXLive 2010.
The "resolution" was: it is up to Debian/Ubuntu users to post-process the
LaTeX file or select the fonts via the "LaTeX preamble" instead of the
GUI.

You have several choices:
* update fontconfig by whatever means Lucid offers.
* read the fontconfig documentation (of your version) and insert the
font selecting commands under Document>Settings>LaTeX Preamble.
I would:
* Selct a font via GUI
* Open View>Source, select "complete source", update.
* Copy the font selecting code (the one with "Ligatures=TeX") into the
preamble and remove the "Ligatures=TeX" option.
* file a bug report.
