What do you mean by "this code is really horrible"?
Here is a patch that obtains the desired result in a couple of lines:

Apply it to src/text.C in LyX 1.3.1 to get the chapter label "Chapter N"
centered over the chapter title in lyx window, when "Align Center" is
defined in the chapter style part of your layout. I'm not aware of any
side-effects. This should work for right-to-left (rtl) docs as well, but I
haven't tested it.
