Dear Patrick,
Many thanks, removing the preference files solved the problem.
I guess this is definitely a bug that needs reporting.
OK ... but what precisely is the bug? What goes wrong with the
conversion from the old preferences file to the new? When I try it
here, the conversion from 1.3.5 to 1.3.7 goes smoothly, so if there
is a problem with the installer script I need more information.
Could you send me the following:
(a) your 1.3.5 preferences file,
(b) the 1.3.7 preferences file that the lyx installer produces, and
(c) the 1.3.7 preferences file that works?

Ian,
I had similar problems and solved it by removing all the
preference-files (old and new).
From 1.3.5 on the preferences have been moved from ~/.lyx/ to ~/
Library/Application Support/lyx/
When upgrading the lyx installer moves the files but apparently
something goes wrong causing lyx to look in the wrong places.
I upgraded from 1.3.5 to 1.3.7 and got your problem, although
tetex and all classes were present as before. I'm not sure but it
is possible that the paths in the preferences-dialog were empty;
maybe supplying the missing paths may also help.
