I usually just use Ctrl+Shift+V to paste text (including lines of LaTeX) 
that preserves new lines. It works in an ERT box. (I wasn't aware of the 
Paste from LateX option.  In fact, there's quite a bit here that has 
changed since I last carefully looked at what was offered by the 
different menus.)
