I could not reproduce the problem in "article" or "book" document classes, but it does arise in these classes (test LaTeX document attached)
  - paper
  - Koma-Script variants: scrartcl, scrbook, scrreport.

Also, the problem only shows when using either < or >, not ". Note that ~ is considered obsolete since version 4 (although activated), and is deactivated by default in version 5 of babel-spanish.
So it might be a problem in the babel-spanish package after all. And therefore I thank you for taking the time to report it :).

The last activity in that repository was two years ago... I am unsure whether he still watches that. I can try to reach him through http://www.cervantex.es/. Also, to see if anyone there has experienced this problem with babel-spanish, as there is a mailing list for users of (La)TeX in Spanish.

That is another option, with the plus that the user can turn it on/off at will.
That line alone in the preamble will not work, the language package must be added as well, like this

        \usepackage[spanish]{babel}


        \deactivatequoting

because LyX puts the preamble code BEFORE the language-package inclusion.
