This is documented in lib/doc/Development.lyx. Updating tex2lyx at the same time as LyX is not a must, but "strongly recommended". The reason for this is that parts of tex2lyx implicitly produce always the latest format, because tex2lyx reuses LyX code. >> Besides this you could have at least added a not why tex2lyx can no >> longer handle format 474 in version.h development/FORMAT is supposed to contain the format documentation.

I don't se any problem with this. In any case, it was better to keep an outdated tex2lyx than to pretend that it produces current file formats without implementing the needed support. > Won't tex2lyx forward whatever it creates to lyx2lyx, if need be?
