Yes, I got that too.

The problem is the following construct:

\textit{\scriptsize ...
...
...
}

I don't think that is how \textit should be used.

So the question is: where does this come from? In the LyX file we have

\shape italic
\size scriptsize

in front of the minipage. This holds both for Ekkehard's original, and
your LyX file. So we seem to be generating illegal LaTeX from that.

When Latexing the document from LyX 1.3, I get

\begin{center}\textit{\scriptsize }\begin{minipage}[c]{0.8\columnwidth}%
{\large For there is ... establish them.}{\large \par}

\begin{flushright}\textsc{David Hume}\end{flushright}\end{minipage}%
\end{center}{\scriptsize \par}

Note that here, the \textit range is broken up by the minipage. This is
correct, as LaTeX doesn't apply it to the inside of the minipage anyway.

So, I believe I understand the problem. But how to fix it?
