The switch of LyX to unicode somewhat stalled the development of the tex2lyx 
converter, since tex2lyx itself needed to be prepared for unicode, and no one 
volunteered for this task. Thus, all newer features are currently imported as 
TeX code instead of proper LyX stuff. This was a major problem we were aware 
of as of LyX 1.5.0.

The good news is that we (Jean-Marc Lasgouttes, for that matter) are now 
seriously addressing this issue and that tex2lyx is handling unicode more or 
less now (i.e., in forthcoming LyX 1.6.2). This means that we will be able to 
subsequently add native support for the newer features (which may itself take 
some additional time, so do not expect too much wrt 1.6.2).
