The reason appears to be that LyX insists on loading the geometry package, which changes the default margins, after fancyhdr. The same thing happens when I import the above tex file into LyX---the order of the packages is reversed and geometry is loaded last, resulting in the incorrect output as in the second picture.

Hi,

There is a workaround, although it is a mild PITA. Go to Document > 
Settings > Page Layout and set "Page style" to "Default". Next,
go to Document > Settings > Local Layout and add "Provides fancyhdr 1" 
(without the quotation marks). Then drop down to LaTeX Preamble and add 
"\usepackage{fancyhdr}" and "\pagestyle{fancy}".

An MWE is attached.
