This is true, but requires that I (or the users) add a title directive to 
a _lot_ of pages. For some reason 'LyX' is very popular in the name of the 
pages on the LyX wiki..

Anyway, looking at the code, it seems I have to provide my own 
function that 'spaces' names, and then let the function reference 
$AsSpaceFunction refer to this function. The default function is AsSpaced:

function AsSpaced($text) {
   $text = preg_replace("/([[:lower:]\\d])([[:upper:]])/", '$1 $2', $text);
   $text = preg_replace('/([^-\\d])(\\d[-\\d]*( |$))/','$1 $2',$text);
   return preg_replace("/([[:upper:]])([[:upper:]][[:lower:]\\d])/",
     '$1 $2', $text);
}

The following works, but it's a bit of a hack:

#
# Introduce a special function that converts a text to a 'spaced'
# form, that prevents 'LyX' from being split up into 'Ly X'.
# This is a bit of a hack, as a name originally containing 'Ly__x__' will
# be converted to contain 'LyX ' instead.
#
function AsSpaced_preserving_LyX($text) {
   $text = preg_replace("/(LyX *)/", "Ly__x__ ", $text);
   $text = preg_replace("/([[:lower:]\\d])([[:upper:]])/", '$1 $2', $text);
   $text = preg_replace('/([^-\\d])(\\d[-\\d]*( |$))/','$1 $2',$text);
   $text = preg_replace("/([[:upper:]])([[:upper:]][[:lower:]\\d])/",
                        '$1 $2', $text);
   return preg_replace("/Ly__x__ /", "LyX ", $text);
}

$AsSpacedFunction = 'AsSpaced_preserving_LyX';
