This happens because by default LyX follows LaTeX default. In this
sense, what you complain about is a LaTeX bug. The choice has bee made
to stay with whatever LaTeX does for defaults. While people used to
workprocessors complain, people who exchange documents with other LaTeX
users are happier.

Another solution besides what you proposed is to use "Almost European"
fonts. This is a virtual fonts that uses the postscript OT1 fonts that
ship with LaTeX to emulate postscript T1 fonts. This avoids the overhead
of either cm-super of lmodern.

Finally, you can also use the "Save as Document Defaults" button of the
Document Settings dialog to select your current settings (font,
paper...) as default for new document.
