Umm, Lyx is only following standard typographic convention --

  The *first* paragraph of a section, or after a figure, an equation,
  a table, a list, etc., is *not* indented.  Only a paragraph
  following another paragraph gets indented.

Take a close look at some books if you don't believe me.

As far as I can tell, only in the US do people indent the first
paragraph in a section, and even here, only those with no typographic
or publishing experience.  (I suspect that M$ Word has a lot do do
with this...)
