I fear you have to revert your commit, as you broke the whole babel

This problem turned out to be really serious as it makes certain
documents uncompilable. To be able to work on the docs (some
translators use the recent SVN for this) again, I reverted

I know that reverting is not the fine art, but I think in this case it
is the safest as we are too soon before the release.
Well, if you cared about explaining what is wrong I am 100% sure that
this would have been a one line fix.
Nevertheless I fully agree with you and José, that the babel handling
should be changed, but let us postpone this until LyX 1.6.0 is out.
My opinion: this code is a mess and is very fragile because it _is_ a
mess; if we don't fix it now, it will turn out to be a source of a lot
of unpredictable bugs.
