If you look at BUGS in the reLyX directory (reLyX is the tex importing
utility), you'll see that _ is incorrectly
handled in commands that reLyX doesn't know how to translate, like psfrag
and includegraphics. 1.3 is something I hadn't noticed, but it's all
basically the same bug. It's pretty hard to fix, and unfortunately there's
not an easy workaround (other than not using _ in filenames and labels).

This is a problem with the LyX math editor, which doesn't yet support those
fancy environments. I'm pretty sure that the next version of LyX will
support them, but that may take a while.

Do you mean that you have all of this stuff in TeX mode inside LyX figure
float? And is it more than just the errors in #1 above?
