If you think that the ambiguous cases like those above are common
enough, and you want a consistent rule, then you should put the comma
after B. Otherwise, you should only use the comma when you actually
need it (and A, B and C would be the right way in that case). Isn't
it nice to have rules that start with "it depends"?

This all depends on your LaTeX distribution. It works ok for me on
Debian Linux, but I can't get it to work on my Mac. I don't know how
to get it to work under FreeBSD. There is discussion of this in the
plicated than a Word or OOo installation. I've no idea what
to do about this short of limiting the power of LyX by shipping its
own LaTeX with "standard" extensions.

I didn't read that URL, but the best way I find is to export to
OpenDocument, open it in OpenOffice.org, fix the right-hand border (at
least, I always have to), and save it as a Word .doc file.
