Actually as far as I know even the standard of dot files being hidden is mostly
"a standard" because everyone does this. Dolphin could simply show dot files
like normal files and we wouldn't break any compatibility or any official
standard. We would only break user expectations.
(https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/88875/why-are-filenames-that-start-with-a-dot-hidden-can-i-hide-files-without-using-a)
So no, there is no agreed on convention that lost+found directories should be
displayed as anything other than a normal folder as far as I am aware.

Indeed we have something like this already! See:
https://superuser.com/questions/826194/how-to-tell-dolphin-which-files-to-hide
Basically you would need to create a text file called ".hidden" next to the
"lost+found" folder and then write "lost+found" into the ".hidden" file.
Dolphin will read the contents of the ".hidden" file and make sure the
"lost+found" folder will be treated like it was hidden.
Does that work for you?
