It does, and therefore should go into Lyx 1.5.3.

I vote to open a new bug report for this issue. The problem you describe is very special and so far
I know not used by anybody (assuming that Arabic users don't use CJK). This bug has been before so
your patch doesn't introduce it.

I spent yesterday more then two hours of testing and playing around, see my comments in bug 4337.
For me the patch is stable. That there are still a special issue that has been before shouldn't
prevent to apply it to LyX 1.5.3. It fixes 2 crashes and makes the CJK support now really usable.
Note that we promised and announced this for LyX 1.5.0 thus it's time to keep our promise.
