Do you think the non-expert user will notice? Even if, they would notice that
any special chars except "-" and "." are mangled and adjust their expectations.
If they had existing SGML/XML files before, they would either have adjusted
before because of the SGML parsers error messages or become expert users
(I would say, once you know how to modify you SGML dclaration
you are an expert ;-) )
A non-expert user like me is for sure non-plussed if they write an SGML doc
with LyX and then can't feed it to Openjade successfully.

Could we reuse the dialog which opens when the document class
changed and some layouts could not be converted?
For the warning I would just add a reference to the manual section where
it is explained.
And for the settings dialog I prefer (in this order)
1. special flag for converter (the user could define a "nonmangled"
Docbook format
2. Document settings
3. none (edit .layout file manually)
4. .layout file editor
