Exactly - for round-trip, the format of the references is effectively irrelevant, as long as one can see which ones they are, whereas for export, the format is essential (not only for Humanities!). I would even go so far and say that the inclusion of a properly formatted bibliography in the round-trip would be causing more problems, as bibtex et al only help on the one way - but how to get a new reference back into LyX? So I would suggest to leave the citations in a basic format (e.g. #+#bibtexID1,bibtexID2#+#) as a comment in the docx, so that they can be seen. On the way back, #+#...#+# is then replaced by the citation command in LyX, and if inside the #+# is not a valid bibtex id, it is imported as a comment, which then can be interpreted by hand (could be a new reference).
