Well, that's a pity. Look at Captions, Ragged-Line-Breaks, LyxMenuSeparators (in the User's guide). They are all painted crappy (when moving your mouse around them), because they have no color specified and they do not inherit their parent's color. This means that the area cannot be cleared prior to redrawing the Inset. So I couldn't find a simple way to fix the painting, other than assuming that their background is the same as the main buffer's background (which is not always the case of course).
