Aha, I was not reading my error message correctly. It looks like im my simple
file the problem was that in Output I had Synronize with Output checked and had
selected \synctex -1 as the option.
Removing this gives me XeTeX output from what I can see. This does not seem to
be the problem with the Math Manual.

Subject: Re: Cannot export Math manual using XeTeX
I forgot to mention that a simple text file with a couple in-line bits of math
in Lyx exports just fine.
Another lyx file which looks much the same gives me first a knitr error. I
have no call to knitr but the knitr module is loaded. Remove knitr module and I
get a XeTeX error in 2.0.6. I have not had a change to check it in 2.1dev.
XeTeX seem to be a bit weird.
Oh well, back to chopping up the file. :)

Thanks for the confirmation. I started a thread on lyx-devel.
Hopefully there's an easy way to have pdfTeX and XeTeX working. Note
that if I remove the following lines from the preamble, export with
XeTeX
works fine (but pdfTeX is broken):
\DeclareInputText{176}{\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi}
\DeclareInputText{183}{\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi}
