This is not a bug but a TeX feature.
Ctrl-L (evil red text) is treated as raw LaTeX - passed on to LaTeX as-is.
It is up to the user to ensure this works as expeced (actually even if it
works at all).
LyX must not fiddle with this, as any well meaning "fix" will break
behaviour for other use cases.

The recommended LaTeX-way to deal with this is to ensure that every LaTeX
command is terminated by a pair of {}, either with arguments or empty.
\mycommand{} four five
