Yes, that's a bug. This should work for all LyX-loaded packages.


Thanks Richard. I reported it at http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10257.

A little of background: there are packages (.sty) that load some of 
these *with options* themselves. It's unclear which options will 
actually be used. In this situation, for example,

\usepackage{pkg}
\usepackage[opt1,opt2]{pkg}

opt1 and opt2 will not be used, and LaTeX might even stop compiling.
