It' s indeed a bit strange that float figures are not automatically

LyX outputs whatever the class defines, and most classes define it

You may do it yourself by entering in an ERT frame
'\begin{center}' before and '\end{center}' after the code for the
picture.
That's the way I solved the problem.
Better use \centering, because the center environment adds extra
whitespace
around the figure (LyX itself inserts \begin{centering...
\end{centering} if
you use the paragraph dialog, which is equivalent to \centering).

An easier solution for centering all your floats is given by Herbert
Voss' Tips and Tricks page
add the lines below to your preamble
Centering all floats
If you want to center for example all of your uncentered figures, you
can do this with
\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{figure}[1][]{%
\...@float{figure}%
\centering
}{%
\...@float
}
\makeatother
