The above bug is only in master, so I could use stable to test. What I did:
1) sudo mkdir -p /private/tmp
2) sudo ln -s private/tmp /tmpriv
3) Now /tmpriv is a symlink to /private/tmp and I set it as the LyX tempdir

After launching lyx, on a reverse search I get the following output with two
different versions of Qt:

Qt version: 5.11.3
file_name: /private/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.RurBRUpdNLdn/lyx_tmpbuf0/./manuscript.tex
abstmp:    /tmpriv/lyx_tmpdir.RurBRUpdNLdn
realtmp:   /private/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.RurBRUpdNLdn

Qt version: 5.14.1
file_name: /private/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.NBKcJvrHltYf/lyx_tmpbuf0/./manuscript.tex
abstmp:    /tmpriv/lyx_tmpdir.NBKcJvrHltYf
realtmp:   /private/tmp/lyx_tmpdir.NBKcJvrHltYf

So, I cannot confirm that the symlink in abstmp is expanded, and reverse
search works always. This must be a Mac specific issue.
