That is OK.

Yes, the file is corrupted.

Could you try the following:
*) go to Tools->Preferences->File Handling->Converters
*) choose in the Converter Definition "LyX -> LyX 2.1.x"
*) change the converter from
"python -tt $$s/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx -t 474 $$i > $$o"
to
"python -tt $$s/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx -t 474 $$i -o $$o"
that is the change > to -o.
*) select Modify in upper right side and then Save in the lower part.
*) repeat the export to 2.1.x and see if it works now.
As I have told you before this works in Linux.
