For some reason I can't reach the lyx.org is it down?
Anyway, I'll just re-post my patch here since it might have gone unnoticed. I know that the cure I suggest isn't perfect, but as far as I can see it works. The problem seems quite bad so it seems much better having this patch rather than leaving it as it is.
The discussion was here: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org/msg197035.html
