You are right, \outputformat has nothing to do with default output format.
Which brings me to the initial question, how \outputformat ends up in .lyx file
at all that we need to remove it?
What one needs to set in GUI to get \outputformat in .lyx file?
Have you seen .lyx file which contains that line?

We can look later. I am now stuck with the outputformat thing. I looked at the
code and it's scattered all over the place, but it's difficult to find piece
of code which does actually something useful based on this variable.
Do you still need functionality like that of GuiRef::nameAllowed/typeAllowed ?
