This is by design. The lyx layout only touches the second group. Someone
may want to use the British pound sign for shift-3, for instance.
See /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/il
// Mirrored:
key <AD11> { [ bracketright, braceright, 0x10005bf ]}; // Rafe
key <AD12> { [ bracketleft, braceleft, 0x10005bd ]}; // Meteg
One way out of this is to use the X11 keycodes as a translation layer
between dvorak keys and qwerty keys. In this case, map AD11 and AD12 to
different keys. This is done in files under /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/

What layout do you use, exactly? What's you current XKB configuration?
xprop -root | grep _XKB
