Just leave out the \flushleft in your definition.
Trouble with leaving out \flushleft is the entire warning becomes centered
like the label. What I really need is the equivalent of \noraggedright.
Put braces around the label:
...
\newenvironment{warning_l}
{
\begin{quote}
\hrulefill\\
{\centering WARNING\\[0.5cm]}
}
...
The only reason I didn't use a quote environment is I was unable to adjust
the margins with any style but list. Sounds strange, but my
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\scratchLength} and
\setlength{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin} wouldn't work in anything but list. I
just tried it on your code using the quote environment, and once again I
couldn't control the margins with \setlength{\leftmargin} et. al.
Internally, also quote is defined via list (just to be able to set the
indentation. I'm pretty sure it could be controlled by some special
command/lenth (something like \setlentgh{\quiteindent}{3cm}) but I don't
know the proper name for it nor find it in my literature.

But why dont't you use the ready made quote environment?
Style Warning

LatexName warning_l
LabelType Centered_Top_Environment
LabelString -- WARNING --
# (mimick the line above)
Alignblock
AlignPossible block, left, right, center

\hrulefill\\
\centering WARNING\\[0.5cm]

\hrulefill\\
\end{quote}
}
EndPreamble
End
LyX offers the possibility to insert lines above and below a paragraph from
the Layout|Paragraph menu. These lines also show up in the GUI. But you
have to ask the lyx-gurus, whether this functionality can be included in a
style definition - the doc doesnot tell anything about it, so I suppose it
is not. (- feature request).

Check out my Warning environment
Thanks to all of you for your help, including Guenter Milde, who mailed me
offlist with an explanation of labels in LyX.
Anyway, the Warning environment automatically prints the word WARNING on top,
suitably centered, then prints the text of the warning with reduced margins.
In the final product it has a line above the word WARNING and below the last
word of the warning text. I couldn't figure out how to do the lines in LyX
but that's not a big issue anyway.
The only bad part is it's ragged right in the finished product -- but that's
not that terrible either.
So here it is:
Style Warning
LatexType Environment
LatexName warning_l
LabelType Centered_Top_Environment
LabelString WARNING
AlignPossible Left
LeftMarginM
RightMargin M
ParSkip 0.7
ParSep0.7
TopSep0.7
BottomSep 0.7
Font
EndFont
Preamble
\setlength{\scratchLength}{\leftmargin}
\addtolength{\scratchLength}{1cm}
\newenvironment{warning_l}
{
\begin{list}{} {
\setlength{\leftmargin}{\scratchLength}
\setlength{\rightmargin}{\leftmargin}
\setlength{\parsep}{1cm}
