That bug is now a year old. Meanwhile there exist the package
latex-xft-fonts, which contains

 cmex10, cmmi10, cmr10, cmsy10, msam10, msbm10, wasy10

as True Type fonts. Is that sufficient for your needs or do you need
anything else? The package description reads:

 Some xft-compatible versions of LaTeX fonts for use with visual math
 symbol display in LyX. It is useful primarily for the LyX Qt
 frontend. It is also useful for Mozilla Firefox with MathML
 documents.

Does installing that package (and perhaps the recomm. packages cure
your problem maybe even, when using Mozilla)?
