How about a "LyX layout repository" with supported¹ layouts at an "official" URL (something like www.lyx.org/ressources/layouts/ or similar, maybe with subdirs for major LyX versions, ...) as a first step? The warning pop-up "missing layout" could point to the repository URL and ask the user to check for a layout file there (or search the wiki). ¹ in contrast to the user-contributed layouts on the wiki without official support be the LyX team.
