I've discovered problems with bibtex parsing at LyX startup if the abstract field contains unicode characters: the failure is soft (I see a message on stderr) and the document is loaded but most of the entries in the bibtex database associated with the document are not available during Insert->Citation.
Is my issue related to this one? Should I file a new bug or file a comment with this issue? Any hints on what the fix might be? I could try looking into it if others are busy.
