If there is a file ~/.lyx/preferences, it is read instead of ~/.lyx/lyxrc.
In fact, I'd rather surprised ~/.lyx/lyxrc is read at all...

Nope you're right. Here's the code:

        readRcFile("lyxrc.defaults");
        system_lyxrc = lyxrc;
        system_formats = formats;
        system_converters = converters;
        system_lcolor = lcolor;

        // If there is a preferences file we read that instead
        // of the old lyxrc file.
        if (!readRcFile("preferences"))
            readRcFile("lyxrc");

So, shove all the stuff in ~/.lyx/lyxrc in the ~/.lyx/preferences file and
away you go.

My interpretation is that you're doing something wrong.
