Could we simply use AMS \text instead of \lyxmathsym?
Maybe with \ProvideCommand fallback definition in case the amsmath
package is not available.
Or, maybe we can do an input check and place all characters that are not
supported in math in a text-in-math box? This would give immediate
feedback to the user and facilitate styling "the lyx way".
Thanks for your work.
