Generally speaking, whenever one submits an manuscript for
publication there comes a time when the inserted bibtex
bibliography must be replaced by the corresponding bbl file. I
know a way to do this: to find the temporary bbl file generated
with when you view the LyX file. But the process takes several
steps. Given that we face this every time we publish an article or
book, would it make sense to make the inclusion of the bbl file a
menu choice? Something like Export > LaTeX (pdflatex with bbl), say?
Please see http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/4624.
I opened a new bug to finally add the converter to LyX
(http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8710).
Bruce was actually raising the question, which has been discussed on
the user list recently, whether the converter should simply be
added, independently of the issues with sectioned bibliographies,
etc. Various people have recently made this suggestion, because so
many other people have asked about this very issue.
I don't have a strong opinion.

Can we disable the converter when a document uses sectioned
bibliographies etc. ?
Not really.
If not, should we add this possibility ?
This looks very complicated to me.
It doesn't look that complicated to me, iff we hardcode it in the LyX
source. But we probably don't like a statement 'if (format = "ltxbbl")
status->enabled(false)'.
For what it's worth, I expect that the people who would use this will
do so for submissions of articles to journals. I don't think sectioned
bibliographies, etc, are all that common in that case. So we might
never run into a problem. If so, then we can try to address it in the
script.
Or we try to address it before enabling the converter ;).
