I'm thinking of inheriting a wrapper from std::string and import that in the global namespace rather than std::string. This way, LyX will always be using the assert-improved string, while there will be no problems interacting with anything, since anything that expects a std::string will get just that. This does have the drawback that the asserts will not function while the string is being handled by third party code. I don't know how important that is to you.
