This syntax is wrong. It should be {\displaystyle ...},
and in some cases, you can just write \displaystyle.

This is an old bug, and it has been fixed in 1.2.0.
Note that \displaystyle disappears because lyx recognized this macro.
The \displaystyle will be written to the latex file, although it might
appear in a wrong location.
BTW: You might want to use eqnarray for multiline equations
(read UserGuide.lyx).
