Second, if I follow Uwe's suggestion to leave the EPS->PDF converter alone and just delete the EPS->PNG converter, then I get load errors on all the EPS files in the user guide. That's why I took them both out -- it appears that the existence of any EPS->whatever converter messes up the image loads in LyX.
Your EPS -> PDF coverter has the command
epstopdf --outfile=$$o $$i
right? So when you choose View -> PDF in LyX you'll get a valid pdf file with correct images, also right?
So leave the original EPS -> PDF converter.

This is correct, because in convertDefault.sh the command is convert -depth 8 $1 $2 and this invokes the command line of ghostscript. The correct command would be convert -depth 8 $1 pdf:$2 (btw. you can omit the parameter -depth 8)
To solve the problem the conversion EPS -> PPM to view the image inside LyX, reinstall ImageMagick.
I had this problem last week and the solution was to upgrade to ImageMagick 6.0.7. If nothing works, uninstall ImageMagick AND ghostscript. Then install the latest AFPL ghostscript before ImageMagick 6.0.7 (or 6.0.8)
