Excellent. Note, however, that this is a file format change (because "nocite"
has to be reverted to ERT). You'll have to increment the file format and
provide a lyx2lyx function to revert nocite (which should be very easy).
Regarding "\nocite" in the label: I think this is too LaTeX-centric. I would
rather append something like _("not cited").

I don't see this neither in 1.5 nor 1.6 (or I didn't understand your receipt).
Actually, your patch disables the optimization of the bibfiles cache, which
means that opening the dialog needs very long when you have a big
bibliography database. Why is it required for \nocite anyway?

Yes.
