It should be fixed in 1.6, after 1.6 is able to understand subtractions and 
additions in the box width.
WONTFIX for branch.

This is not the correct definition. A file format change is a change where 
either the LyX file format or the format of the output is changed in such a 
way that we need or might need to act.

If we, for instance, substitute the package "subfigure" with "subfig", it 
would be a file format change even if the LyX syntax would remain the same, 
if the output of subfigures (e.g. the look of the caption) would differ.
