This is something that is limited in latex itself and not only in LyX,
though LyX should know to convert it to the correct format.
The correct way to do it is to use the capital version i.e.
\Dot{\Vec{\omega}}
This will not be shown as nicely as the \dot or \vec (you'll se ERT - Evil
Red Text - which is the latex commands) but it will do what you want and
as a bonus the dot and the vec will be aligned correctly as opposed to the
lower case version.
This is off the top of my head, so I may be mistaked but I believe this is
correct.
