That's why LyX offers this choice too.

In fact, a class designer is free to do these choices. What happens is
that the default LaTeX classes ,suppresses indentation. But all it
takes to revert it is \usepackage{indentfirst}.

Thanks, that's what I suspected. While the default classes are in
general faithful to the printed result, many classes derived from them
havbe not been checked correctly. Jose', it seems that you should
check the NextNoIndent setting of the sectionning styles of your
classes.
The AMS classes could use a bit of proofreading too, since fonts are
completely wrong in some cases.

That's what Paragraph and Subparagraph do in the standard document
classes. Some of the section commands do that too in AMS styles.
