It is indeed. And usually \section commands are recognized by reLyX,
so it seems something threw it off before this line.

The reason is, that there is not Style for the "frame" environment in
the standard beamer.layout file. Instead, there is the "BeginFrame"
style that translates to \lyxframeend{}\lyxframe.

I propose an alternative beamer.layout file without all these
"lyxframe...". This is somewhere down on my TODO list (after getting
some more knowledge about beamer).

As a start, you could try to copy beamer.layout to your $LYXDIR/layout/
directory and add a Frame style (definition adapted from my
seminar.layout, not tested):

Style Frame
        LatexType               Environment
        LatexName               frame
        NextNoIndent            1
        Margin                  Static
        LeftMargin              N
        ParIndent               ""
        TopSep                  0.4
        LabelType               Top_Environment
        LabelString             "Landscape Slide:"
End

Then, re-try the import. If this helps a bit, we can try to devise a
more standard beamer layout.
