You have found a tex2lyx bug that was hidden by a lyx2lyx bug in the former
relase. The last optional argument of your minipage is incorrectly
translated. I'll fix that after the tabular stuff. You can circumvent the
bug by specifying all arguments:
\begin{minipage}[t][1\totalheight]{6cm}
\end{minipage}
Also, maybe somebody could indicate what exactly the known problems with
minipages are so that my testing is more useful, instead of reproducing
known bugs over and over again.
If you use length variables it may work or may not work. Example:
\begin{minipage}{\mylength}
\end{minipage}
Everything else should work.

probably a known problem with minipages.

lyx-native space above, should be consistently done
Known problem with lyx2lyx.

tell tex not to insert to much space/stretch after it. In lyx this is
ERT, although I guess lyx has a native mechanism for that?
I'll have a look.
- \pagebreak is left as ERT, could be converted I guess
LyX uses \newpage. Does any of the LaTeX gurus know wether we can convert
\clearpage and \pagebreak safely to \newpage?
- minipage again: a relatively complicated page with lots of minipages
is not output properly, some overlap is happening
minipages have known problems.

The resulting lyx files are too long to paste here. Maybe the
