OK, I'm now happily importing tabulars.  Well, mostly.  I'm having
trouble with the left borders on multicolumnts.  I start with:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}


\begin {tabular}
{|p{1.5in}|p{.4in}|p{.4in}|p{.4in}|p{.4in}|p{.4in}|p{.4in}|p{.4in}|p{.4in}|p{.4in}|p{.4in}|p{.4in}|p{.4in}|}
\cline{2-3} \cline{4-5} \cline{6-7} \cline{8-9} \cline{10-11}
\cline{12-13}

\multicolumn{1}{c|}{} & 
\multicolumn{2}{c}{Exceptional} &   
\multicolumn{2}{c}{Excellent} &   
\multicolumn{2}{c}{Very Good} &   
\multicolumn{2}{c}{Average} &   
\multicolumn{2}{c}{Below Average} &   
\multicolumn{2}{c}{Unsatisfactory} \\ 

LaTeX correctly renders this with no left border on the 1 cell
multicolumn.  Lyx loses this, and turns it into |c|

If I manually edit the multicolumn in lyx, it will export the correct
latex.  indeed, a diff shows that the extra | inserted by lyx is the
only difference in the two exported latex files.
