Very interesting!
First of all, the bug of putting things into the wrong cells has been
fixed in the latest version of reLyX (CVS).
However, it's actually surprising that ctabular was translated. in fact,
reLyX doesn't know that environment. It turns out that it translates
anything ending with "tabular" as if it were a tabular. I can't decide if
that's a bug or a feature.
Using the newest reLyX, everything gets put in the right place, although
the midrule, toprule, and bottomrules aren't translated of course.
FYI--if you don't want something to be translated, put it in a skip block.
See the relyx man page for details.
