That should be the best solution for this particular case, but you are right this problem needs to be solved at a lower level in knitr or Sweave, or LyX's math mode. The difficulty on R's side is from parsing \Sexpr{} using regular expressions. In your case, the R code should be 0.5^{2} but knitr sees 0.5^{2 because } terminates the code.
I see, thanks for clarification. Would it be possible to define a math-specific inset, that formats and acts like the R/S expression inset, but inside a math inset? That way, knitr does not need to change and it would be more in line with the other inset of the knitr (Rnw) module.
Anyone?
