To my knowledge lyx starts  a new line with nested environments in the
latex code, but that should not start a new paragraph, unless the latex
environment   is forcing you to start a new paragraph with \par or a
similar command.

I think that the differences in the output PDF are coming from using the
block environment with the non ERT version and the uncover environment in
the file with the ERT (note that also the .tex files produces the same pdf
as example-block-imported.23.lyx)

To check my suspicion I've tried to see if using uncover as a style layout
in lyx will cause this problem. To do so I copied the block layout from the
beamer.layout file to the local layout and changed the style name, latex
name and label name to uncover. see the attached file.
