Hi Steve,

I’m not sure - but IMO the production of the index files should mention
in the logs the fact of inconsistent page numbers. As long as this happens
one has to redo the latex compilation process including the index creation.

AFAIK LyX scans the logs and is doing exactly that.

Please read the log files of your tools after the first run. 
Probably you’ll find some recommendation about this there.

Sorry, if you are knowing this please ignore this message.
