Thanks, but I'd like input from others on the general idea.

OK, consider the following file created today's trunk (a theorem with
8 empty paragraphs in the middle). LyX should not allow to create this
(especially since it does not make anything on DVI output).

Ah, you noticed :)
To word it differently, I understand that doing that is important to
some people, but I really do not like it.

I always do in such cases
\begin{thm}\mbox{}
\begin{itemize}
\item ...
\end{itemize}
to force a break before the first bullet.

But it creates problems in different places.
