Hmm, that doesn't do anything over here. I keep hitting "enter", but that
never takes me out of the original frame.

But for anyone else looking for a solution to this, I did dig up an answer.

First of all, apparently, this change was introduced in 2.2.0:

http://git.lyx.org/?p=lyx.git;a=blob_plain;f=lib/RELEASE-NOTES;hb=97a3a64290e3c1afa2fede081ef17736be636c5a

And the solution (detailed in the User Guide section 3.4.6, but the
instructions are out-of-date in the Beamer manual) is to go to Edit>Start
New Environment. This is not specific to Frames but will start a new
instance of whatever environment you're in. If you are in a Frame
environment when you do this, it will insert a separator and start a new
frame.

The next mystery is what to call this in when assigning key bindings?
