You are right. It didn't work at first but probably due to something else.

Unless the user didn't specify an own path_prefix. The way it is now (without
changing lyx_main.C) the preferences file will not contain a path_prefix entry
and on restart LyX would use the system default.
If the user runs configure and then save preferences, LyX might save the old
path_prefix as personal preference but I didn't test that.
Do you like to commit the configure.m4 part if Bennett says it works for him
and noone else protests?
