I think it is just a difficult feature of LyX to implement correctly. You can see the current bugs that we are aware of for the comparison feature here: http://www.lyx.org/trac/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&summary=~&component=compare&description=~&reporter=~&col=id&col=summary&col=reporter&col=status&col=type&col=severity&col=keywords&desc=1&order=id If you don't have one of those issues and you can provide a reproducible example, please make a bug report.
