There is nothing that we can do about this. It's not a LyX bug. You can
try reporting it to the folks at tikz. Info on contacting them can be
found here:

It's not obvious to me that it's a bug, though. LaTeX is a programming
language, and as with any programming language it is possible to write
code that will produce an infinite loop.
