Not really.
It's a problem of "both of you". Like the Greek support, bidi support in
LaTeX predates the advent of Unicode and modern day Desktop applications.
Therefore, while LyX supports bidirectional writing, it does not
necessarily do it in the best possible way. Pepole (users as well as
developers) that are used to the current implementation and people
without need for bidirectional writing will not recognize any problem.
The way out is interest the developers into the problem. Laying the
blame entirely either on yourself or on LyX ("any other app does the
right thing") might not get you there. Looking into the problem and filing
bug reports sounds like a better approach (and I see you go this way in
your followup... :-).
