I think that first improving LyX length reading and then fixing the
bug is the way to go.

But, more than that, this shows that we should be very careful before
introducing features in LyX where the output is hardcoded to some
peculiar preference of the patch author. We should definitely not need
out output hardcoded lengths to latex like we do.

Also, I think that advocating using ERT very freely in many parts of
the manuals is something we are eventually going to regret.
