Dear Kornel, dear LyX developers,
I found the problem and will provide a patch.
See below for details.

Are they tested for equivalence?
If yes, why is export/doc/UserGuide_lyx21 *not* failing despite almost the
same differences between UserGuide.21.lyx and UserGuide.21.21.lyx?
What else could lead to failure?
The log file says:

CMake Error at /usr/local/src/lyx/development/autotests/export.cmake:205
(message):
Export failed
It seems the conversion went fine 2 times but fails the third time.
How many conversions are done? (In my autotests/out-home/ dir are files
like "MissingEndTagDiv.22.22.22.22.22.lyx")
I tried UserGuide.16.16.lyx with LyX2.4.dev:
compiling fails with:
! LaTeX Error: Command \b@xcite already defined.
Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
(because some preamble code is added a second time).
And exporting to 1.6 fails with
lyx-en UserGuide.16.16.lyx

When rewriting the preamble-removal code for better readability, I missed to
make it failproof. This will be fixed soon.
