This one is fixed.

Seems specific for lyxgz; not saying it's not a bug but a very corner case. Willing to commit working patch, but I am not going to spend my time on it.

Not goint to rally for this one.

>  4. When introducing a dynamic text field (Insert > Field), the tooltip explaining how to use placeholders to set a custom fixed time says "01-23 in AM/PM", twice. This, obviously does not make any sense, as AM/PM is just for 00-11 hours.

This one is fixed.

>  5. The string "Table" appears in quite some contexts that are contradicting: in some it really means Table, while in others it actually means "Tabular". Remember that Table/Tabular are related in the same way Figure/Image do, although LyX kind of ignores that (LaTeX does not). This makes it impossible to translate that word without introducing inconsistencies (see the attached image).

I don't have strong opinion, but not seeing others responding it's maybe trying to be too strict. Admittedly I never really distinguished these two, OTOH if LaTeX distinguishes it, we should perhaps too...
