Thanks el!

Aside from the fact that latexmk needed a -lualatex arg, nothing was
wrong with them. And they gave me additional evidence that the root
cause might not be about the difference in compile method between
internal LyX and external shellscripts or commands.

It turns out that, whether with eyeballs, my shellscript, or either of
your commands, one index item is spectacularly out of bounds,
supposedly covering pages 21-132, which is patently false. I'm now
going to use this one reproducible index error to create an MWE, either
for myself, or for review on the list after suitable Latin has been
substituted for the proprietary verbiage.

So thanks very much, because you helped get me over a serious stumbling
block.
