This is the "90% compatible" workaround also suggested in 
>>   http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10543
as a possible alternative. Mind, that it does not prevent all line-break
changes: with ---, hyphenation in adjacent words is suppressed, with
\textemdash+ZWSP, hyphenation in adjacent words is allowed.
See the attachments to  http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/10543
for examples where this leads to different output.

I don't have a preference regarding the two alternative patches for stable.
