I've sent this along to the LyX developer list, because I realized I
really don't know how to do it either, without resorting to LaTeX
commands.
You are right that if you insert a table float, and give it a caption,
then put a table inside it and mark it for 90 degree rotation, that only
the table is rotated, not the caption, too. This is bizarre behavior on
LyX's part and I can't believe that this is ever the correct behaviour,
typographically speaking. I would assume that the caption should always be
rotated if the table is.
How I would do it for now (help me out, devvies, if there is a better way
to do it) is add a "\usepackage{lscape}" in the Layout->LaTeX Preamble
(assuming you have lscape.sty somewhere in your LaTeX installation - you
do if you are using teTeX, for example), then just above the table float,
insert "\begin{landscape}", mark it as TeX, then insert "\end{landscape}",
again marked as TeX. Don't mark the table itself as being rotated. This
will give you the behavior you desire, but it does require LaTeX.
