Thanks for the great suggestion, I will give that a try.
I am a bit of a LyX noob, so the following may be obvious as well,
but: will that export well to plain LaTeX? I have some collaborators
who I have not (yet!) been able to convince to move to LyX, so being
able to share documents is important to me.
Yes, it should (does) export seamlessly.
I'm attaching a first shot at the module (charitably assuming the list
server lets me add an attachment -- I seem to be on its s**t list
sometimes). I used "incremental" rather than "step" in the descriptive
stuff to be consistent with the Beamer manual. Just drop it into your
local layout directory (the one under the "user directory" listed in
Help > About LyX), reconfigure (Tools > Reconfigure) and restart LyX,
and you should be good to go. Please let us know if it works or if it
trips up.
Richard, I tried putting the option [beamer.cls] in the
\DeclareLyXModule line, and managed to offend LyX mightily. Is there
some other way to specify that the module requires a particular document
class, or is that left to the reader as an exercise?

PS: I'm going to upload this to the wiki. Assuming no bugs (and there's
always a first time, even for that), should we nominate this for
inclusion in a future release? On the one hand, I see module bloat in
the future. On the other hand, I use Beamer a lot, and I find myself
specifying incremental overlays repeatedly (to the point that I'm
kicking myself for not thinking of the module idea myself).
#\DeclareLyXModule{BeamerIncrementalLists}
#DescriptionBegin
#Provides new bullet/enumeration lists, with and without alerting,
#that contain incremental overlay specifications (each item appearing
#on a new overlay).
