So I used the filter on 'Outline pane/Labels and reference' to single out some of the labels. For some reason, the filter result includes the labels, but omits the references for some of the labels. If I look at the full list of labels, they all appear correctly with all their references. However, when I apply a filter, the correct labels appear, but some of them appear without their references.

As a user I find the "2.2" very useful -- it supports the workflow of printing the document, marking it up, and then editing the LyX file based on the marked-up printout. The alternative is using packages like showkeys so that the printed document shows the keys as well, but this can be a bit of a pain (in particular you need huge margins if you have long keys), so the option to have LyX display the cross-reference value is very helpful.
