I found that this is due to having defined "LyXServer pipe" in
Tools>Preferences>Paths. Specifying there the path for the fifo results
in instant preview not working. Removing it, instant preview works
again. The puzzling part is that it seems to always work on a computer
regardless of "LyXServer pipe", while it works on another one only if
the "LyXServer pipe" field is left empty.

Instead, with cygwin 3.0.7 it seems to always work.
