Try to build a release build, and see if that helps. If not, you can manually inspect the files in the moc_files folders to see if their custom build step is correct.
Unfortunately, I do not have time to investigate myself now.

The concensus is that the patch is too messy as it is now, so some janitorial stuff is required before it goes in:
1) Angus is working on handling the process stuff
2) The lyxserver should be disabled in a nice way, rather than with lots of #ifdefs
3) Lars is working on introducing boost::filesystem to handle the FileInfo mess
4) When all that is done, the patch dwindles to a minimum, and I think it will be applied then.
Any work to help this process, will speed it up. Until then, the best is to update the CVS and keep applied the patch.
Unfortunately, my paternity leave ends on 1st of February, so my available time is reduced somewhat. Personally, I prefer to work on fixing bugs in the core, and Angus has generously volunteers to do some of the janitorial stuff.
