It seems to me that your statement above renders your earlier point redundant:

The problem exists only for acrobat and only under Windows. Nobody has 
complained about LyX's behaviour in this regard in 10 years of existence. That 
suggests that people like LyX's behaviour.

If you want to compare to previous versions, use the change tracking and 
version control features. That's what they're there for.

My conclusion: fix the breakage; don't work around it.
