Actually, the behaviour is to be expected (although it's a bug, of course). At
the beginning of the child, LyX switches the language with
\selectlanguage{spanish}. Since we never switch back, Spanish remains the
document language until the end.

This is not strange: within in a single paragraph, we use
\foreignlanguage{spanish}{<content>}
so the language is closed in this case.
I guess we need to treat child documents like environments, language-wise.
A new task for Enrico.
Note that a workaround is to switch off "Auto begin" and "Auto end" in
Preferences > Language Settings > Language.
