Nothing I know of.
Something on the order of \ERT{\cmidrule(r){1-2} } ?
This is
a) invalid LaTeX
b) has the same problems.
However, as you have complete control, you could consider exporting
CSV tables and using the CSV importer to convert them to lyx or
generate LyX code right away.

Not quite. The problem with \cmidrule is its non-standard syntax.
If the command had used only brackets [] and braces {}, the solution
would be simple. In order to obtain what the OP wants, a hack must be used.
First of all, put in the preamble of the .tex file the following line:
\def\ERT#1{#1}
then, surround each \cmidrule command that you want to import as a
single ERT, with \ERT{your command here}, just as in your example above.
Now, use a text editor and create a file named as you like, for example
syntax.extra, and put in there the following line:
\ERT{}
Having done that, run LyX, go to Tools-Preferences-Converters and
select the LaTeX (plain) - LyX converter. Change the line that reads
tex2lyx -f $$i $$o into tex2lyx -s path/syntax.extra -f $$i $$o
(where path is the full path to the syntax.extra file), hit the Modify
button and then Apply (or Save, for a permanent change).
Now use the menu File-Import-LaTeX (plain) and select the .tex file
you want to import. All your \ERT{whatever} commands will be imported
as a single ERT. Note that you don't have to take away the surrounding
\ERT{} in LyX, as it will work as expected.

marking something as ERT
I've written a utility which takes results (in the J programing
language) and converts them to latex tables, specifically formal
tables, using booktabs.sty. One problem with importing them into lyx
is that setup instructions like \cmidrule(r){1-2} ... gets imported
as ERT for \cmidrule, followed by text for the rest, another ERT for
the next \cmidrule etc. It's sorta ugly, as well as making the table
cell very wide.
Question: since I have complete control over how the file gets
written, is there some way I could indicate to the lyx importer that
the whole sequence of \cmidrule's is to be treated as one big ERT?
Something on the order of \ERT{\cmidrule(r){1-2} } ?
