It is advisable to use LyX "objects" instead of ERT when possible.
For the above, I would use
\usepackage{caption2}
\newlength{\tmp}
\newcommand{\setcap}[1]{%
\settowidth{\tmp}{#1}\setcaptionwidth{\tmp}\centering#1}
in the preamble, and in the text
\setcap{<a LyX graphics inset>} (this paragraph should have
a default alignment)
<A LyX caption paragraph containing the caption>
