There is at least http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3833
reported upstream. IIRC there were a few reports about such issue on
the mailinglist aswell.
Currently the only workaround for you would be to upgrade at least
to Debian/testing to get a more recent LyX version where the problem
seems to be fixed.

I'm going to work on packages for backports.org when the endless boost/icu
transition problems are sorted out.
