I'm trying to get tables into lyx from a word document (I really don't
want to fight that ill-formatted monster in starwriter!).  I can dump to
text well enough, but I want to keep the tables filled in.

I was even able to trivially get the tables into latex with a bit of vi
magic [   %s/^/ & /   and then change the starting of the left columns
to \\    ]

latex handles these fine, and can display them.  Lyx won't import it.

Then, in a flash of insight, I made a trivial lyx file; "Hi" followed by
a 2x2 tabular with all defaults, filled with a b c d

Export this silly little file to latex, and try to import it back in.
No dice.

Do a cvs update, and the problem remains

I've attached the offending file.
