Thanks.
Ok, I've tracked down at least part of this. For reasons I don't
understand (bug? feature?), if you include a BMP file that resides in a
directory other than the home of the LyX file, *and* if the path to it
contains spaces, then LyX includes the extension in the emitted LaTeX
code. Otherwise, the extension is omitted. Now that should not be a
problem in general, since LyX automatically uses ImageMagick to generate
an EPS version of the image file when using View->DVI (or View->PDF
...), and LyX exports the .eps file along with the .tex file if you use
File -> Export -> LaTeX. At least it does for me. So I suppose a
reasonable question to ask at this point is whether you have ImageMagick
installed (and whether it's either on your system command path or on
LyX's Tools -> Preferences... -> Paths -> PATH Prefix)?
