That last {\large\par} may have something to do with how you selected 
the text before applying the style change. In a test document, I did not 
encounter that. Comparing your ERT version with the customized style 
version, I can confirm the difference in the LaTeX commands but see no 
difference in the output. Is there a reason why you are unhappy with 
what LyX enters?
