Regarding references to known issues, I've structured it as described below. Unless objections appear, I'll apply the attached patch in a day or two.

Regarding known issues, the file ANNOUNCE says:

        As usual with a major release, a lot of work that is not directly
        visible has taken place. The core of LyX has seen more cleanups
        and some of the new features are the direct results of this work.

        The file RELEASE-NOTES lists some known issues with this release
        compared to the latest stable release (LyX 1.4.4). An updated list
        of issues might later be found at
                http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes

And RELEASE-NOTES ends with:

        Known issues with version 1.5.0beta3
        ------------------------------------

        Note: There may later be an updated list of known issues online at
                http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/ReleaseNotes

In case someone happens upon the wiki page LyX/ReleaseNotes first, that page links to ANNOUNCE (in Trac/SVN) and links/includes RELEASE-NOTES from Trac/SVN.

If we go with this structure, the users can be pointed to the wiki page for an _updated_ list of issues. We still have the alternative of adding the issues to a file in SVN and embedding that in the wiki page. Or linking to bugzilla for that matter.

I hope this concludes my stumbling path among the text files in trunk.
