I confirm this bug. Could you please put this in bugzilla.lyx.org?

Well, it's not so much a bug as a bad design decision.
But note that this mirrors what LaTeX itself, erroneously, does by default.

Well, If I choose the 'Book' document class I don't see this. The text is justified in LyX and ragged-right in the dvi. So that's a bug.

Nope, the only classes I know of that fixes this (i.e., use ragged section headings) is memoir and koma-script:

\documentclass[draft]{article}   %% justified
%\documentclass[draft]{book}     %% justified
%\documentclass[draft]{memoir}   %% ragged
%\documentclass[draft]{scrartcl} %% ragged
\begin{document}
\section{\hyphenchar\font=-1
 MM MMM MMM MMMM MMM MM M
 MMM MM MMM MM MM M MM MMM
 MM MMM MMM MMMM}% justified; large spaces
\raggedright\Large\bfseries
 MM MMM MMM MMMM MMM MM M
 MMM MM MMM MM MM M MM MMM
 MM MMM MMM MMMM
\end{document}

Well LyX tries to follow the justification you'll get with LateX. If you mean to always ragged-right in LyX independently from LateX, then that's something else. I think there's already an enhencement request about that on bugzilla.

If LyX is intended to copy the style, then I'll write my request with that in mind. I might also request an interface to the titlesec package for customising section formatting. (Although you need different methods for koma and memoir. Sigh.)
