in the floating figure or table environment the captionstyle works 
not with special commands (e.g.math-symbols). Choose one of the 
following possibilities to shun an error:
1.
  write \protect before your latex command (e.g.: 
  \protect\overrightarrow{arrow}) 

2. define an own caption in the latex preamble 

\newcommand\myCaption[1]{\small\refstepcounter{figure}%
   \centering\figurename\ \thefigure :\ #1}

in the float (!) choose paragraphstyle standard instead of 
captionstyle and write 

\myCaption{...the captiontext ...}

myCaption is only needful for captions with special math-symbols 
or special commands. counting of figure is continuing.

3. work with a trick:
run from lyx dvi-view once without your special mathsymbol or command.
the dvi-output than works and every dvi-update too, you can ignore the
latex-error when you insert now your
math-symbol.

lyx ignored the error.
