Testing on 2.3.4.2-2, it seems that the file is processed:

from lyxpreviewE14071.log

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.21 (TeX Live 2020/Cygwin) 
(preloaded
  format=latex 2020.4.22)  28 MAY 2020 19:21

....
! LaTeX Error: File `qtree.sty' not found.


the file seems in texlive-collection-humanities
