Hi, Paul.

Bit of a long-shot, but if you copy the bind file contents from

Brilliant! You nailed it. At the top of my user.bind file, I
originally had this line:
# Copyright © 2013 by the Editorium. All rights reserved.
I didn't include that in my original posting because the line was
commented out, so I figured it didn't matter. Not so; LyX evidently
doesn't like the © character, even in a comment. I removed the
character, and everything worked perfectly. That's odd, because LyX
never objected before, but LyX 2.3 does. Maybe it's an encoding issue
on Windows.
At any rate, thanks again for your help. Problem solved, and I really
appreciate it. I hope this may be helpful to someone else.
You may be right about it being a Windows issue. I can't reproduce it on
Linux Mint, even with the copyright symbol in the file. If someone else
can reproduce it on Windows to confirm that's the problem, we might open
a bug ticket for it. If nothing else, the error message is misleading.
