I found similar things happening to me under LyX 1.6.7 in a document that
contained some accented unicode characters, specifically é and ú — perhaps that
is the cause. A workaround of course is simply to use ERT and with appropriate
TeX code, e.g., \'{e} and \'{u}. The problem has been fixed in 2.0beta2.
