LyX 1.2.0 can not work with floats (figure or table, ...) included in a
paragraph with \emph on. For example, it will translate into LaTeX code
like:
\emph{ .... \begin{table} ...\end{table} ...}
which can not compile.
While in LyX 1.1.6fix4, LyX will correctly shift the mode:
\emph{ .... }\begin{table} ...\end{table}\emph{ ...}
