Can you please file a bug report about this at
https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome
You will need to register first, if you haven't.
I agree it is a problem, but I've leanred enough about encodings to know
that dealing with them is difficult. If one has a file (or string), it
can be difficult to tell what the encoding is. But we should perhaps do
something when we cut and paste into LyX to try to make sure we have UTF-8.
