reLyX hasn't changed since then, I'm afraid. It's vaguely possible that if
you replaced a longtable with a table, it would work, but longtable does
have some extra commands that reLyX wouldn't understand, and LyX wouldn't
know it's supposed to be a longtable. Still, it might be better than
nothing.

You could try wvware's latex output - reLyX. I haven't used wv, but maybe
it outputs regular tables instead of longtables.

Nope. It's longtable, intentionally. But you can edit 
install-dir/wv/xml/wv[Clean]LaTeX.xml to change s/longtable/table/. 
No recompile required!

Yet, I have noticed that wv-produced tables also turn to ERT in reLyX. 
That could well have to do with all the other stuff that gets put in.
I would like at least wvCleanLatex to be clean enough to get through 
reLyX, but haven't managed so far.

You could try wvware's latex output -> reLyX. I haven't used wv, but maybe
it outputs regular tables instead of longtables.
