Either \textrm followed by a non-letter character, or M-m, both when already
inside the math formula.

It does do the right thing, the error is that creating mathematical things
inside \textrm should not be possible in LyX. This is a known bug

You can always go at the first position inside the \textrm and press
backspace. Then it will disappear.
