And here's why it worked for me and not you: I typed in the
underscores, and LyX cleverly escaped them as \_\_ (ad nauseum).
I'm guessing you pasted them in or imported them as text, and got
just underscores, no escapes.
Hm...
LyX really should behave identically in both cases. It should not
produce a different output from *typing" weather *inserting* some text.
According to my experience LyX 1.5 versions (it may as well be just a
Mac problem...) generally suffer from strange effects that something
that looks identically in the LyX editor in fact produces different
LaTeX code, which is "surprising" at best for the user. I am still
suffering twice a day from the "funny invisible chars" problem without
really understanding how these chars make it into my document:

Maybe it is time to open a bugzilla entry for this?
