This sounds like a bug to me. You can see what LyX is doing: It's
changing the global language but keeping the language of each extant
paragraph. But that's probably not what the user expects.

I don't think this is a bug. It seems perfectly logical to me that
changing the language of a document doesn't change the language of
anything that's already been typed in. Changing the language of a
document may affect overall things, like where page numbers appear, or
other such language-specific conventions. But it shouldn't change text
that's already been typed in. That would seem very strange to me...
If I want to change the language of already typed in text, I can select
it, and then change its language.
