I have a caron'd 'e' in newfile.lyx below, which is plain ascii
afaict. In LyX, I see the accentuated char (not ERT) and in the
file, I see this '\i \v{e}' sequence (I don't know what the \i is
for; it disappears when I export to .tex or .txt).
Clearly, the (US) keyboard did not send the code for a latin-2
char.

I understand that you don't want the latin-2 code for \v{e} in a
document that is ascii encoded. In my case, I don't think the
latin-2 code appears anywhere.
There must be something I did not understand; maybe another
iteration? Let me see, your keyboard sends latin-2 codes or, just
ascii or latin-1? I don't know for sure what characters X echoes. In
your case, does it send to LyX latin-2, or ascii characters?
Cheers,
Etienne
