As you may be aware of that LyX serves as a front-end for the LaTeX system. When you select a paper size in LyX, LyX -probably- simply adds that paper size as an option to the document class in the generated tex file. On the other hand, LaTeX is a sophisticated typesetting system, where many packages and classes are used. Sometimes, some of these packages and classes have conflicts and associated rules. When you try to use some specific packages for a given class, you may not be allowed to change some settings. As far as I observe, LyX developers are trying to identify these conflicts and implement LyX-based solutions for some of them. However, it is not always possible to follow every single one of these conflicts/rules since there are so many of these packages and classes. Further, LaTeX packages are being updated constantly and may result a conflict after an update, which makes it very difficult to track them. To put this in another way, if you are not using LyX, but using conventional text-based LaTeX typesetting, you will probably encounter these issues as well. If this issue is a well-known issue, LyX developers might have provided a solution in LyX. However, it is not always possible for LyX to have a solution. In this case, you are supposed to identify the issue and provide a solution by yourself, which we LyX-used do all the time.
