The file you attached worked fine except that I had to convert from the
DOS (CR/LF) format to UNIX (LF) format :P (BTW, isn't this problematic
to exchange documents between Windows and Unix? LyX on FreeBSD judges a
lyx document written on Windows as a wrong format, raises an error and
simply stops. One must convert the format manually.)

This should not happen. Could you please open a bug report at bugzilla.lyx.org?

"Part" is not translated on the lyx screen due to an untraslated entry
in the Japanese message file of LyX. But the DVI file it generates
contains "Part" in Japanese correctly.

I mean the DVI output. Good to hear that it works for you.
Could you update the Japanese LyX translation this way?

One remaining issue:
I currently built in that \usepackage{japanese} is loaded when the document language is "japanese-plain"; should is also be loaded when the document language is "japanese" (the one that uses CJK and inputenc)?

INFO: there are de-facto-standard Japanese-aware styles such as
jarticle, jreport, jbook, jsarticle and jsbook. As far as users use
these styles, the japanese package is not necessary. In other words,
when users use these styles, the call of japanese package is redundant
(and the result may be slightly different). But as a universal solution,
using japanese package will be second-best.

When it is not necessary, I think we shouldn't force the users to use this. They can add it manually to the preamble when they want to load this package.

I personally think layouts for these styles should be included in LyX
because they are standard for Japanese language, but again, problem is
that these are not found in CTAN.

Could you please contact the authors of these file to ask for a permission to include it to LyX? And of course having this stuff at CTAN would be very helpful to assure that everybody has access to these files via the countless CTAN mirrors.

These styles are in the modified BSD license. I wonder if I can upload
them to CTAN as a proxy. Is anyone sure about this?

I'm not sure. Asking the authors is the best way anyway.

To put it in the nutshell: Now LyX supports all you need, right?
