Yes. The latest bits of that were done for file format 259, but IIRC it
started earlier. The reason is very simple: The export logic was too
complicated, and the feature also had bugs. Handling this properly in
tex2lyx would have been a nightmare too.
Therefore, all magic that might be needed should be done at editing time,
e.g. solution (a) mentioned above or something more clever. Once a
particular piece of text is marked with a particular font property it gets
exported to LaTeX as-is.
