This is a LaTeX feature/bug that LyX up to now does not work around.

The existence of the "upquote" package shows that at least some consider
the LaTeX default behaviour as problematic.
For LyX, this is even more problematic, as we have usually matching feedback
characters in the GUI which is also the case for double quotes. A consistent
handling of single and double quotes would be welcome.
