Yes, I know this! What I try to do nowadays (sometimes I forget, see one of my latest questions...) is to check after every entering of a citation whether lyx- >pdf conversion is alright. I am using Jabref as a bib-file and push the ref via "lyx" in Jabrefs menu into the document. Jabref allows also to check for the coding ( file>database properties>encoding>ISO8859_1).

I find it faster to mark parts which you have to do anyway if you put it in a comment field, use ctr x, try the rest, if ok, paste it back with ctr v, try the other half etc until the error has been pinned down.
