I'll skip over the forensic steps (and the "what was I drinking that

layout file is coded (according to Notepad++) "ANSI as UTF-8". Yours
is coded UTF-8. Turns out either ANSI or "ANSI as UTF-8" works fine,
but LyX apparently can't read a non-ANSI UTF-8 layout file and keep a
straight face. (Developers are free to weigh in here with corrections
if I'm wrong.)
There's a bug report along these lines: LyX can't read non-UTF8 text
file. I think it's been addressed in a recent fix, but I'm not sure.
Why would LyX have an aversion to pissed-off crustaceans? Perhaps
it's just mimicking?
My thinking exactly. But now that we know the encoding is an issue,
we can concentrate on those darned alien crabs.
This is a huge issue, and we will have bugs here. One of the biggest
changes with 1.5.x is the switch to unicode. ALL layout files need to be
changed to unicode. See the release notes.
