Is there some bug number for this issue?

I am not aware of any hook you could use within the lyx,
but as you are already inside bash, you could use loop
for waiting on the pdf to appear, something along the lines

while ! [ -e handbook.pdf ]; do echo 1; sleep 2; done
sleep 2; #to be sure the whole pdf is copied
