I don’t think the name of the bundle in file system is used here.

$ plutil -p lyx-build/LyX-2.4.0dev.app/Contents/Info.plist|grep CFBundle
  "CFBundleExecutable" => "lyx"
  "CFBundleGetInfoString" => "LyX/Mac 2.4.0dev"
  "CFBundleIconFile" => "LyXapp.icns"
  "CFBundleIdentifier" => "org.lyx.lyx"
  "CFBundleName" => "LyX"
  "CFBundlePackageType" => "APPL"
  "CFBundleShortVersionString" => "2.4.0dev"
$ open lyx-build/LyX-2.4.0dev.app
$ /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "LyX" to activate'

works.

You have a point if we start localizing the LyX application name. 
Then one has to use the identifier. So to be safe the alternate solution is:

$ /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application id "org.lyx.lyx" to activate'

Thank you for the hint.
