Daniel,
I can only speak for myself.  Since I am not a developer, and know 
nothing about what is behind the screen of Lyx/Beamer, I assume that 
there is a (valid?) reason behind the need for an End-Of-Frame, without 
which, presumably, things will go fall apart.  All I know is that it IS 
difficult, right now, and --  I suspect-- does not need to be.
