I think LyX should not try to be more clever than the user. We know from other 
Word processors where this ends. Particularly, ERT is supposed to pass code 
_as is_ without any addition or modification. Doing clever tricks is 
impossible to get right.

For instance, inserting active babel characters will most likely break with 
your proposal, e.g. German "Weihnachtstage und <ERT>"~</ERT>nächte" or 
"(Wunsch-)<ERT>""</ERT>zettel" must not be followed by a blank.

And if the assumption is wrong? How is the user supposed to get rid of the 
whitespace again?
