dvipdfmx emits a lot of warnings and Koji suggests ps2pdf.
Thanks to Koji for the advice.
Note that on Debian, I installed the following packages
to be able to compile with ps2pdf:
fonts-takao-mincho
fonts-ipafont-nonfree-jisx0208
fonts-ipaexfont-mincho
This fixes several long "unusual contents found" warnings that
were being written from LyX's math parser and improves the
typesetting.
Thank you to Enrico for the fix. See here for his explanation:

There are still two such warnings that might indeed be serious,
one each in fr/xypic.lyx and ja/xypic.lyx. I get an assertion
from cursor movement in those insets with instant preview enabled
(on both current trunk and branch).
Manuals, examples and templates that use (traditional) bibtex should have set the bibliography processor to bibtex. Else, these documents do not compile if a user has set the processor to 'biber' in the preferences
When a user creates a new document from a template, the template
is copied but relative paths are not changed, so the resulting
.lyx file is broken. By moving documents with relative paths to
examples, the files will compile out of the box.
A long-term solution that allows for relative paths in templates
is still desired and will be discussed in #8643 or in a new ticket.
- mention that the aa class loads natbib to avoid compilation errors
- the aa package contains an outdated an customized version of natbib.sty. This file only works with aa, but breaks the compilation of many other files on your system, therefore remove the bibliography and replace it by BibTeX
- add a note about the encoding
If the 'nols' option were set, the files could be output with plain
LaTeX as well; but because letterspacing is an important part of the
Tufte design, letterspacing is preserved and pdf2 is set as the
default output format. This is now explained in a note.
The issue here was that an AMS symbol is used as 4-th level bullet, but 'use AMS Symbols automatically' was not selected.
This is a candidate for branch.
