I have found the .eps export feature on a lot of windows based programs to be pretty dodgy too.
Generally under windows programs I print to a postscript file and then open the files using GSview. If often gives some errors but manages to open the files. Then I use it to convert to .eps or re-save as a .ps . Then I use these files in LyX and they don't give me any troubles.
