My experiences: I had to use APA style for citations and it uses the
author as label, so I had one source without an author and it would me
give me an empty citations, the solution was to use the attribute key
in the bibtex file (key = {something},) to get a custom label, maybe
this also works for you...
have a nice day

btw: just yesterday I handed in my thesis that I wrote with LyX, and I
am really grateful for this software package it saved me some hassle
(and also gave me some, but that's a different story ;-))
