Rich,

your first \addcontensline in ERT is superflous, The preface is in the 
TOC by default
as long as it is a numbered chapter.  Your mainmatter is inside  the 
paragraph layout for
quotation. Use standard and everything will be fine.

I have no problem with your example. LyX 2.4.0 Beta2 which should be no
difference to 2.3.6.1
