If this is the case why on earth didn't you open a bug ?!
Anyway I've had a very quick look at this. The first part is easy, in
text.C:breakParagraph()
1704 // if we don't keep empty text, don't allow a break
1705 if (!layout.keepempty && par->size() < 1
1706 && layout.labeltype != LABEL_SENSITIVE) {
1707 return;
1708 }
Now the behaviour is that when you press return on a keepempty section,
for example, the new par is inserted /above/ the section. The code is
kind of hard to follow around this area: any hints anybody ?
Guenter - open a bug on bugzilla.lyx.org :)

p.s. I've noticed we missed the nadir point of releasing pre1 and the
bugs are growing again :(
