Why don't you use bold text as supported by mathed (aka M-c b)?

The problem is not at reLyX level, since it converts it fine, but at
mathed level: mathed does not understand \textbf, which is rather for
real text. However, it does correctly understand \mathbf, which is the
correct forms to use here.

In theory, reLyX could translate \textbf to \mathbf in math formulas,
but is it really a good idea? I'm not sure what the difference is
really.
