The problem at the moment is that LyX does not yet support beamer's overlay
arguments (<...>). At the time when the beamer layout was written (by the
beamer author himself, BTW), we also did not yet support mandatory environment
arguments. We do now, although the InsetArgument framework is not really
suitable for submitting a frame title.
\lyxframe works around these shortcomings by scanning for the diverse
arguments.
