The problem is that we do not know the encoding of the to-be-included file.
(Of course we know it in this special case, but not generally.)
Instead, we should document the issue in the master and all translations of
embedded.lyx:
Included files must either be pure 7-bit ASCII or use the "LaTeX
encoding" of containing document at the place of the "input inset".
Alternatively, the "LaTeX encoding" can be changed with
"\inputencoding{...} as ERT before/after the inset.
The "LaTeX encoding" can be set under Document>Settings>Language. The
current default with pdftex is language-dependent (in the majority of
cases a legacy 8-bit encoding). Documents using more than one language
may end up with more than one "LaTeX encoding". With XeTeX or LuaTeX,
the "LaTeX encoding" is utf-8.
Note, that
* this is not only an issue of "verbatim input" but also affects
"normal" input of LaTeX (and may be other) files.
* this is not restricted to use of Xe/LuaTeX, but can also be triggered
under 8-bit TeX by configuring the "LaTeX encoding".
* in the light of these problems, the current default of language-specific
LaTeX input encoding should be reconsidered. Especially the mix of several
input encodings in one document is problematic.
I suggest to use the locale encoding for LaTeX export.
