It looks like lyx simply used the first font in the fontlist,
Not really, it's a bit more complicated than that. Unfortunately Qt makes this REALLY hard. You'd need to investigate the code in frontends/qt2/ that chooses the default fonts and work out why it's picking what it's picking.
In particular, you might not have a standard "Sans Serif" alias.
A local setup problem then. I understand that when all else fails, lyx just have to pick some font. Still, when such a last-ditch measure is used, lyx could pop up the settings dialog so the user may pick something better immediately instead of getting "splash.lyx" set with some really useless screen font. First-timers might get a bad impression.
