This will be fixed in LyX 2.2. We will not fix it for LyX 2.1 because
we just released our final beta and have concerns of breaking code
such as
\addto\captionsbahasa{\renewcommand\chaptername{Foo}}

It seems that LyX needs to also change "magyar" to "hungarian". It
appears that "magyar" was considered as a global synonym but that
would have loaded the largest available patterns twice in eTeX:

Thanks for the comments,
