I then extracted the changes I had made to my mac.bind file and inserted them back into the new bind file

This is bad practice and making your life harder than necessary. Because you won't inherit any changes made to the bind file in newer version (which is what when wrong for you).

For 1.5:
Do not change the mac.bind - file. Instead, make your OWN bind file (with a different name, eg. MYFILE.bind) in the user directory, which INCLUDES the original mac.bind file with

\bind_file mac.bind

and then redefine what you want different (what comes 'last' wins!), for example

\bind "C-n" "math-insert \text "
\bind "M-m a" "math-insert \varphi "

Then select MYFILE in the Preferences.

For 1.6:
If you select "mac" in the Preferences and edit the shortcuts in the Preferences, LyX does all of the above transparently (it creates a user.bind in your user directory which contains your modifications - and only those).
