The current splash.lyx file does not compile for me.

It compiles fine for me with pdflatex and also XeTeX. (luaTeX of course fails)

After reading an
email thread [1] and instructions on the wiki [2], I get the attached
LyX file, which compiles for me.

It doesn't seem correct to me because of the following issues:

I need to add the following to the LaTeX preamble manually. Should LyX
do this for me?
\DeclareTextSymbol{\guillemotright}{LFE}{62}
\DeclareTextSymbol{\guillemotleft}{LFE}{60}

But this is automatically already added by LyX because we added this to the languages file. The last lines of the preamble in the source window are for me

\usepackage{babel}
\DeclareTextSymbol{\guillemotright}{LFE}{62}
\DeclareTextSymbol{\guillemotleft}{LFE}{60}


The language is changed from Farsi to Arab(ArabTeX) and the document
class is changed from Article to Arabic Article. Is this right?

Where do you see this? Neither the document class nor the language is special. It seems you have a wrong copy of the file. I am refering to the one in master.

Can Windows users get the current fa/splash.lyx to
compile (the Wiki page suggests that this should work)?

Yes, me. I have written all the Wiki pages about language support.
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/Farsi
(there the Ubuntu section apparently wrong but I cannot correct that as I don't 
have Ubuntu.)
