You could copy open the .lyx file in a text editor. The formulas are stored
as LaTeX there.

Alternately, you could change line 108 in src/mathed/formulabase.C from
'#if 0' to '#if 1'. Afterwards pressing backspace at the very beginning of
a formula copys the formula as LaTeX into the main text.

Sorry if both of these 'solutions' are clumsy.

Two ERT insets on either side of a math inset

ERT[ \caption{ ] MATH[x=y+z] ERT[ } ]

outside the float do 


- insert ert \newcommand\myMath[
- insert the formula as usual with mathed

- insert ert }
- insert the caption as \caption[blub]{blah \myMath bla}

and all works well.

no, inside ert is only ert! but you can left ert

with an open end, means only an opening parenthesis.
than you can do what you want. LyX doesn't know
that this first ert  is incomplete. Another ert
with the closing parenthesis makes it latex ready.

Between these two ert's you can have all inset stuff
as usual.
