I am still on 2.0.6 for production purposes so it looks like I'll have to live with the LateX code. BTW: I was asked to submit a draft of the text raggedright and a simple reformatting of the whole body text though LyX Edit>>Paragraph settings (which resulted in every paragraph being wrapped in the flushleft environment) broke the code. The pdf output nows shows un unformatted (monospaced) [2'.] label for the item's label (including the square brackets). Not a big deal in thi sparticular case (it was just a one-off draft the editor wanted to see for some particular reason), bot good to know for the future.
