By changing "\lyxformat 618” to "\lyxformat 616” I was able to load the document in 2.4.0-beta3 although I got two "Document header” errors: "Unknown token: \use_formatted_ref \use_formatted_ref” and "Unknown token: 0 0”. After saving the file, it opened without any errors in beta3 and the contents appear to be OK. But I’d prefer a more elegant solution if one exists.

You can run the lyx2lyx script manually, with option: -t 616, to export 
to that format.

What error are you getting from the 2.3.x export? That's a serious bug.
