This is a (La)TeX feature. Like it or not, but LyX cannot circumvent it that easily. The idea is that the *order* of the floats should not be changed. So, if a "too big" float will go on a separate page, no other float that follows it in the source will appear before this extra page. Instead, they will be printed at the next possible location, which most likely is the remaining space on this extra page. You can either * change the order or placement of the floats in the LyX file, * change settings so that the "odd" float is not placed on a separate page.
